right had a little play today, got some 20mm spacers off lupton and wound the coilies right down on the back, its got a slight bit of poke and stampers will agree the stance was perfect (will get pics soon).



however it scrapes all the time and is p!ssing me off lol, as its my daily and i use it everyday on the sh!tty crap roads its got to go higher (only the rear) Sad hopefully only 1 thread on the coilies (only had 3 before), if not the spacers may need to go and go for abit of tuck again.


oh and i didnt realise how the the plastic sump cover was till stamps pointed it out today been hitting speedbumps quite hard scratch so gonna slow up, its been 9months since my last lowered car lol

my sump cover is always kissing the ground

slowly grinding it away makes the car lighter with less plastic

what a fun day.....

Had a play 2day raised the back up and still scrubs!
Beginning 2 think its the 10mm poke from the spacers.now i personnally think it doesnt look as good higher but i dont want to ruin my tires and arches as it my daily.how much would i cost to get the arches flared?if not ill have 2 get rid of the spacers and get smaller 1s.
Any help or advice muchly appreciated.
Cheers liam

took the spacers out this evening and all seems well so far, i think the tyre was running on the inner arch as theres an area where the bumper meets the rear quarter and it sticks down (not a very good description but i'll try and get pics).

unfortunatly i forgot to get pics on the spacers but as i love changing wheels i might take them off and slam it just to get a pic for you guys!

now however it does'nt look as good imo as its tucked again, but i should be able to go all the way down on the coilies!


anyhow, anyone no how much difference between left and right rear ride heights is acceptable?mines currently around 4mm, have a feeling i'll be adjusting it for the forth time tomorrow.
