Let me know how you get on with the issue of getting non-nivo rear shocks to fit on a nivo back end...currently having some dramas myself.

At least I didn't have to chase 360dood for his input (thanks, son).

Damn you stupid drive!! Thanks for the pics

You could always alter the drive to allow for lower suspension just depends what it's is like as I had to get the council to lower the pavement by 4". As it was ripping my exhaust off the coupe as it was lowered now the drive is great and doesn't catch at all

40mm on peg's/R wheels look good :P

I was thinking 40mm would probably not be enough to make any sort of difference as the standard ride height is not far off what you'd get from a 4x4

Sounds costly that does

Not really the council lowered the pavement and it cost me £150 for the rest of the drive and £150 to remove 4ton of concrete that I had to take out but it saves the car as I now don't catch any of the cars on the drive. Was costing me a fortune in exhausts though.
