standard height sucks! i can cope with the rear arch gap i just hate the front arch gaps


hopefully lowering it 40mm all round soon, i would like to go 60mm all round but i usualy have people in the car and the roads in my area are crap!

Best set up iv hand for ride/handle/comfort was the Bilstein B10 kit which was 60-/40 but wasn't low enough for me.




But now on 80-mm custom front springs and Gaz rear coilovers and ride comfort and practicality goes right out the window hence why i don't use the car as my daily.

and i still feel every little bump or pot hole! when theres two decent sized people in the back the arches drop over half the tyre, and it looks absolutly shocking! because the front end is still how it is in the pic above

So there is very little arch gap. All cars should come like this as standard. Like the black one above.
