Update:

i've just finished fitting the Eibach supension, only lowers the car by 30mm but handles much much better, well pleased with it.

Pics: (taken with phone so quality is poor)

smart smart. Love it, 5 door of course.

Loving the long exposures. Had my cam in the car on the drive back from the fiancée tonite and was contemplating parking up in the pitch black and whacking on the interior light and doing a long exposure. decided not to but looks nice mate

Hoddo, cheers bud.

yeah i was out taking a few night photos as was bored so thought i'd try it with the interior light on, works well imo


Update:

since fitting the eibachs I've decided i want to upgrade some of the suspension to get rid of the 'slop' and body roll.
Ideally i'd like something that will 'feel tighter' when cornering, something a bit more fun to drive as i'd ideally like to go on track.

not sure what i need or how i go about this but i'd like to find a bit more info about the following:

Anti Roll Bars: front & rear
Strut Brace
Bigger Brakes

been thinking about a few changes to the exterior but not sure what i think of them so have had a play in photoshop and would like your opinions.

Remove Rub strips
C/C door mirrors
Fit a set of skirts (irmscher or GSI)

cheers for the comments guys, those pics are old photos taken before the eibachs were fitted so it does sit a bit lower than that.

Jurgen they are just photoshoped on but all you need to make them is a bit of santin black decal.

Hoddo, yes mate good call cc handles and mirrors

Cheers markyjoe
