also got a tiny problem with the coilovers, i can only lower them about 70-80mm before they start catching on the back of my wheels, will it be the camber that needs adjusting or what or should i get some spacers? cheers, brad

Rubbing on the rear? with regards to the size and offset, 70-80 rear is the most your going to do! and pretty certain camber cant be adjusted on the rear coilovers. but its due to the width.offset mate. i cant possible go anymore than 100mm rear.
Looks a great stance how it is though

And its only past 70-80mm? and can you put full lock on? (when at any front drop) if theres no problems as it is in the pic (can get full lock on) then it looks fine as it is! but if you want to go more, then spacers will be needed.

I have M3 type skirts on mine, but wouldn't suggest you put them on yours Brad, as you have OEM bumpers, so stick with that theme

Cars looking really cool mate. Like the idea of taking the spoiler off for the smooth look, really suits it.
Sportex Exhausts sound so nice once there bed in.
