That looks brilliant, curious to know how you got that low too as I currently have about an inch of suspension travel so am right on the limit with the coilovers.

I began to do a little prep on the front bumper today, I have hugely underestimated the work needed on this I think, anything less than perfect and the respray will just look pap, I have also looked all around the car and found approximately 263 parking dings that will need filling, oh the joys.

To be honest I still think im too high o.O

I still have about inch and a half of threads at the back and about half of inch at the front(still got all the helper springs) I will post a picture of it lowered more in the future when I get some time to do it. What coilovers you have? Im running FK's

Ahh, I have the tuning art or whatever they're called off of eBay with the red springs, I was running around half an inch lower on the front than I am now and about an inch lower on the back but it was undrivible, turns out I was on the bump stops, from memory I'm about the same adjustment wise, although it might be the wheels as I'm guessing they're probably 18s aren't they? Mines on 17s which would explain it.
