That looks a lot more equal mate.. Loving the drop

Stick with them springs just put up with the scrapes :salut:

[aleung2]

Cheers mate, that looks really racey, like BTCC cars and other race cars seem to have quite thick tyre walls. Do you have any problem with rubbing at all by any chance and what is it like with a full car?

[Djnibz]

No rubbing, none on full lock either. The only niggles are scraping of exhaust and the rear springs make a rubbing sort of sound for the first minute or so but quiten down after a bit.
Also 90% of the time I have the mrs, two kids and a pram in the car with no problems.
Shrwd I know what you mean I like the way these springs look but it's tedious sometimes when u struggle on and off the drive, restricted to certain car parks etc.
I've decided if I keep the car after the next renewal in July I'm going to change the springs to the Pro kit, change the fly and clutch and get her remapped

Cool, I hope it's just your make of exhaust that scrapes then because I don't want to be restricted to anything if I can avoid as it is my everyday car. I've got one of Rob's unsilenced b pipes and hope that doesn't hang too low.

Looking at them pics above, my springs have got a little bit to settle yet.. will hopefully be as low as yours soon

Did you notice them settle much? And how long did it take?

Car sounds perfect not too loud as to drown out the tegiwa m
