Still waiting on the postman mate! Too scared to take a dump incase I miss him!

Doing a PERFECT job Sir

I'm assuming he's got them wound all the way down and wants them to go lower. FK/custom/cut rear springs Take out rear adjusters Take out front helper springs Cut bump stops They might not all be recommended but will get it sitting lower

^ lol keep ur pants on! New brake booster is over half smaller. Still tight tho.

What an angry day i've had today. Made plans to take the helpers out my coilovers on the 1litre today. Went to my mate Neil's and we got the car on axel stands. Coilovers came off piss easy. Proceeded to remove the helpers, piss easy as well. Put the coilovers back on and dropped it down and I had a fair bit of tuck.. Looked ****ing sick. Started the car and tried to move it. Uh oh... It struggled. Rings & the springs are rubbing off the bathursts (ET 43 afaik). So the plan was to then raise the car, jacked it up and the rings wouldn't move. Seized. lovely person. So, I then took a flaky and decided the helpers were going back in. So the coilover came back out and managed to put a helper back in. The problem came when we tried to remove the second coilover. Bolt & nut decided to round on us, think they might have been put on a bit too tightly :|. So, one tyre was slightly rubbing off the springs and rings and the other side with no helper was mega rubbing. I then had to go fetch my steelies which i got with the car and put them back on. Looks pretty good on the steelies to be honest. Got a picture of the slant but it isn't very apparent in this picture, it is quite a bit lower on the side with no helper though SURPRISINGLY. After all this was done I took a wee trip to the petrol station on Bo'ness Road, Grangemouth, to pump up the tyres. Upon entry I was represented with a massive scud. Front bumper scraped, shat it. Felt like a crazy mutha****a afterwards but 8-) My drive is a proper mess and was pure shitting it thinking I wouldn't get the car up but I managed, just. Was scraping pretty badly. To finish it all off, I think it has an oil leak at the gear engagement bit underneath the car. HAPPY DAYS :| Will be at Ultimate Dubs

Depending on the width, 165/50/15 are a good size with stretch if you want stretch. I'm sure others will tell you if there's better but that's what I'd like to go for on my 15 inch BBS RZ's. with regards to lowering springs, 40 mm is not a big drop, I had 40 mm springs for abit if you want to look at my build thread, but I wanted lower. If you do want to go lower, you will need coilovers to avoid blowing shocks, they're far better. Hope this helps

And yours mate! Ill being going to as many shows as i can so Cheers guys! Thanks mate

Hi Emma lovely GTi!
