I finally got round to lowering the car today!

The coilovers are all wound down to the last thread so this the lowest I can get without taking the helpers out. It isn't anywhere near low enough for what I want but it will do for now and looks better without the massive arch gap I have been rocking for the past few months!

I'll be going for a drive to find some nice spots for photos tomorrow if the weather is nice. Here she is for now:

Looking good 8) . I lowered my spax RSX's down on the front the other day and found that I am almost on the bottom :( They obviously don't have as much lowering potential as some of the other brands but they handle a hell of a lot better compared to the cheapies. I don't want to take my helpers out as I feel all of the performance will go :(

I totally agree about the handling being better than the cheapies. I'm gutted they won't go any lower. It looks much better than it did though. I'm not taking the helpers out either. They will do temporarily until my other form of suspension is ordered 8)
