Yeah,your right,it does need to be slammed.
Gotta keep it practical though as an every day run around,thats why she has it but it beats running about in a stock one.
I have to have at least one practical car !! might as well make it look nice

Cheers , it will do for now, but the fact that it doesn't rub or catch anywhere did make me wish i had dropped it a bit more . That might have been pushing my luck. The front especially looks high but Milton Keynes(where we live) is the land of the speed ramp too which doesn't help. I have some in my street that the Alpina cant get over without being right up on the pavement!!!

I bet of you look at the other side of that car the wheels are the other way round fitted the same way as SSTDI

Otherwise they would have to make two different wheels
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
