from that you look about 40mm.
try smaller tyres, 165/45/15 or something too.

Like BeetleGav says, only looks about 40mm at the moment, maybe its a bad pic?

I think some people have taken theirs as low as 70 front, 90 rear with minimal scrubbing, using low profile tyres, and having no fat chicks in the back seat.

Benc I think I saw your car last nite on the A45 coming near billing at about 9 possibly? Looked very nice.

I would say the black one is a gd height. They can look odd to low.

It wouldnt have been me in the area at that time Graeme. I was sat at home watching tv.lol yeah i think mine sits perfectly really. Low but not too low. Plus it sits nice and level when you look at the sill height. They look silly when the backs lower than the front.lol
