thanks for the link.

your car sits beautifully. i really, really, really like the look of your car. wheels are nice, too- but i'd be interested to see a photochop of those same wheels, in dark matte bronze or something [red + bronze = win, imo].

that's sweet. have you taken it for a fang in the hills? how are you finding any handling improvements/ drawbacks [e.g. i've just got springs also, and i can feel the mismatched spring/ damper rate when pushing it] ?

cheers,

scotty

Billecartz thanks for your photos. Its pretty low now ay? Wasnt expecting such a drop from the sports pack suspension. Also the interior photos are awesome.
Now I can't wait to get mine now.

Might drive the car round a bit before I lower it though.
My question for you (billecartz) is can you still go over speed humps without smashing exhaust or the components under the car? And scrapping of front lip on steep driveways?

I'm not to good at photoshop so I might leave it for someone else toplay around with different colours etc...

I have not noticed ant negatives so far. The car brakes, accelerates and handles much better, the suspension is firm and compliant but not jaring. It's my wifes car and she drove it after hit had been done and she really likes it and says it's improved it.

Jun, no problems with speed humps etc... as there is still plenty of clearance. The car sits so high standard it just looks like it's a lot lower and also these pics are taken in the grass which exagerates the lowness. I tried it out on some steep drives and there is no scrapeing and plenty of clearance.

the look is fantastic. Can't wait for ours.
Love the spoiler.

Any chance of some shots of the car on bitumen etc...so I can see how low it is? Where did you get the suspension mods from? Cost?

I wont get a chance to take any more shots for a few weeks as I am off to Malaysia and Thailand tomorrow for business, but will whe i get back.

I bought H&R Coils from Orange Tuning in Germany, there are two ride heights and I got the lowest. It is low but not what I would call dumped

I landed the coils for AUD$267.00 which was significantly cheaper than anyone locally or on the internet.

That looks really nice lowered! Certainly gives it a more aggressive stance.

true... never take pics of cars on grass. Looks good lowered though!

When I said low I was actually referring to the distance between the top of the tyre and the guard.
I thought it looked heaps low, but could've also been a slight angled hill.
