i have finally got the car lowered!, looks much better than b4!

wot u guys think? i no, compared to some peoples it doesn't look much lower, but trust, me, its much lower than b4, i reckon about 40mm

*little note* this was just after i got it back, so suspension is still settling in!

:lol: Doesn't look like a Landrover any more and the wheels seem to "fit" the arches much more nicely. Top job! What's the ride/handling like?

Looking good, lowering makes a huge difference!

40mm works for me too, not too low but low enough! Nice and subtle. 8)

If it's anything like mine it'll be on the rear arches at the front, I've had mine rolled to stop this.

Doesn't seem to rub on the front, even on full lock!

there are one under each front arch that we have found! turns out to be the bolts that hold the under arch cover in (the one at the top of the arch) is where it is rubbing! u can also see on one side of the back a rubbing mark on the inner body of the car (if that makes sense) i'll keep looking for the rubbing! :lol:
