it looks low for 60mm but it could just be the camera angle. mine is dropped 60mm and urs seems lower although mines on 16s whereas urs is on 15s.........not sure if that would make any difference
Hey Dan, yeah will make sure its on level ground! I still cant help feel its lower than 60mm, I may be looking into some 16s in the near future, just got to set my priorities.
we'll compare drops at E38 lol

Thanks for the pics Chris, it does look very good indeed
. Those pics are much better.
It looks pretty clean and shiny to me, although as with a lot of black/darker colour cars, it really shows up the swirl marks (see the pic of your tailgate). The only way to rid these is by a machine polish.

Remember to shod them with 195/45/15 tyres - 205-section rubber won't fit IIRC

Fitted the BMC today...but DONT BUY RIPSPEED AIR FEED (because it does rip)
I guess this ones my fault for tightening it too much at the top?
Sounds sweet though
