That looks frikkin awesome. How Vauxhall should have made it sit IMO. I've always thought they sit very high for a sport hatch.
And I gotta be honest my car is pretty low and I don't have any real issues. Just have to avoid a few potholes but then I do that in most things I drive anyway...

How much lower actually is it?
doesnt look "that" bad to me, certainly not undriveable like some people are making out.

I had my coupe silly low, and after modifying the radiator and intercooler to sit above the subframe (went through 3 rads in a year) I decided to raise the suspension up an inch and a half all round, still low but handles infinate better!

where is the 'stance' anyway?
looks like a standard vxr has been dropped as low as it can go on its standard wheels.
dont see why ruining a great handling car to try get 'scene points' is a good thing.

lmfao about the anti modifing minds on this 'modified car forum'
my corsa is silly low and its fine to drive everyday even if i have 5 people in the car! ok so you have to go slow over speedhumps but its worth it

Worth what though?
The only people that like it are people on modified car forums, it looks stupid to 99% of the population.

Like Spanish has already said, his Coupe was that low but he raised it back up and it handles better, it might look good but it's not the optimum height for handling.
I wouldn't want it that low, AdamF VXR is low but not quite as low as that and he has scuffed his bumper already. It would drive me insane driving that around everyday having to avoid fag packets in the road.

The bottom half would snap off before anything else, but it wouldn't take much to knock it off the mounting points. Like all new cars the front bumper is a bit flimsy.

a fella i know had his at regal and made 317bhp after getting some work done on it by regal. chipped etc. then back up here a couple weeks later on a rolling roiad it made 282bhp and was running dangerously lean.
interesting. it actually melted a piston a few days later and needed a new engine.

Nope, got 290 @ Regal when they put phase 3 on it, he wasnt happy as it felt the same as his phase 2 thorney map.
He went to red-dot where it again pulled 290 on there rollers, Oggy wrote a new map for the car which took it to 310 with out the dirty EDS boost spike
