Haha, it's pretty low, I'm hoping to go a bit lower too, another 10mm on the fronts should be ok.

Does scrape sometimes, nothing big though!

That doesn't sound good, how many miles did that go on? £650 is a mad price!

Yeah I will do, I drive through most days to and from work so if you see me give me a flash!!

Glad to hear you got the car back.

In the end I lifted it up a bit allround for handling purposes, so it's a bit higher now too!

the car is better than ever!...completely changed the gear linkage mech and feels v tight now :shades:

yeah, i was going to say....thought it might handle a little odd being sooo loooow!!lol
