Today i finally got my 9N Lowered, Still lots of modds sitting at home, but this is it for now.
BEFORE:
LOWERING IN PROCESS:
NOW
:
Nice to be low for once just heard a very bad scrape going out of the bodyshop, hope it aint done no damage underneath.
Just need to get used to the lowness, the car handles nice, but is a bit bumpy and edgy ride (feels a bit wierd) but still i like it! Getting it up the drive requires a bit of practice too
Comments welcome, good or bad?[/img]

From what I can see mate, it looks really good.
Keep up the good work

Looking good. Lowering massively changes the look of 9ns. What wheels can we expect to see?

What's the reason of lowering a car with oem 14 inch wheels ? Never understood that

Thanks for the comments guys. As far as rims go, im probably looking for some deep dish ones with black centres. Not sure what yet though, but should be very soon

Looks good mate you've done it the right way round, lowering before putting new alloys on. Some 9's at the rear and 8's on the front will look sweet

Thinking about it, lowering first is the best way to go. You dont have to drive around looking like a roller skate, while waiting to lower it. looking good!

Thanks for the comments everyone
yeah im glad i lowered first. My mk4 i did it the wrong way, but i learnt from my mistakes.
Few more pics taken today. The Sao Paulo alloys are growing on me. Was considering spacers, but i think i need to raise it up a bit by sticking 15s or 16s on, as its a bit too low for me.

Well like most people, maybe he can't afford to get everything done at once!
Looks good mate, still think the polished TT's will suit best!
