wow, that's looking great, for 60mm that looks really low, gonna look perfect when you do the front, and where are you buying your track rod ends from and how much are you paying? might have the same problem :wink:

im gonna get the track rod ends from gsf mate hopefully they will give me the right parts this time they seem a bit incompitant at the moment :roll:

the rear strut is adjustable in 5 positions so it might be lower but i did tell 60mm all round so i dont no :?

how does the 5 position lowering work?just different mounting holes or somethin?can you still get over speed bumps cus that is the concern with mine,my mate has got a 106 lowering 50mm on 13"s and he can get over them so i should be ok(fingers crossed)

theres a cup that sits on a clip that you can take out and move up and down :wink: its a bit annoying if you fit it and take your car off the jack only to realise its not low enough or something as you would have to take it all off again lower the cup and re fit it :roll:
