Very Nice Mate :) The perfect stance in my opinion, not too low but plenty low enough.

Good work 8) did you get much negative camber on the front?

Ben,
Yeh the stance is growing on me, I was going to fiddle about with it more but it looks quite alright :)
Had a few scrapes today but my tyres were running quite flat, pumped up now and we'll see how it goes otherwise may have to raise it a lil...

No negative camber that I've noticed :roll:

Good Stuff :)
You will notice the improvement in handling when you take it on a good run, coilovers make the car handle soo much better on those twisty B roads.

Ben,
In fact I have noticed negative camber on just the driver's side front

Pretty common problem when changing suspension mate, just get it as straight as you possibly can by eye and then take it to a garge for a full 4 wheel laser alignment. Costs about £30 but its certainly money worth spending, gets the tracking spot and balances it perfectly.

Prevents any excessive tyre wear which is always a good thing

Handling.. Well I've not noticed much of a difference although I haven't pushed it much as of yet
I just went to my tyre place I always do.. They weren't too sure but I just told them to do it :lol:
