I had the same problem mate, chucked some supersport top mounts on there and dropped it another 10mm, happy days :smiley:

thats exactly what my problem is, im more than pleased with the back, but like you say the front needs to go at least another 10mm to get it spot on!

dom yours looks awesome!

 i'll probably end up getting some jom's but not sure on the arb

How about trying Wazzzers method to get the front down another 10mm before you buy coilovers?  :wink:
