When i bought the car i was told it was 60mil. Does that sound about right? Tis pretty low!

 

[zekegti]

looks about right.

Has he used coilovers or shocks and springs?

 

[18T_Tom]

Shocks and springs i think!

 

[18T_Tom]

 

[craigGSI]

i would say about 50 - 60 mm

looks the same as gerards and his is 50mm drop

 

[Caged]

Centre of wheel to wheel arch lip is 380mm as standard if that helps..

That looks like it's sat quite nice! And yes it does look like a 60mm estimation would be right! [^]

 

[18T_Tom]

Caged - i'll measure it later and see what it is.

RJH - Yeah the drop is mint. No gap between the arch and tyres so i'm happy!

Pretty good drop for springs and shocks (if no coilovers are used) - do you know what make they are?

 

[steveh]

Nice looking car, looks like 60mm

 

[the_equalz]

Nice car, im def feeling the drop. What happened to the grill? Has some1 tried to take it off?

 

[18T_Tom]

Not sure what make they are tbh!

As fort he grill, it wasnt clipped in properly and need to get the rest smoothed, bonnet ect

Heres the back.....

You should see how low it goes with people in!

[:O] Do you not have any problems with the ARB?? I'd have thought you would the way it is now, let alone with extra people in it!

 

[18T_Tom]

Whats the ARB? I havent had any probs other than minimal scrubbage when 4 up hitting big bumps.

 

[RJH]

It's the Anti-Roll Bar. You usually get problems occuring with the ARB when lowering more than about 45mm. Most people you'll find on here usually upgrade to the Eibach ones, they have bigger hoops than standard ones and therefore no more problems! []

Sits lovely, but its not quite 60mm. Mine is slammed and does look lower than that, but ive only come down 60mm...

looks like a nice ride[]

 

[18T_Tom]

Evilhomer - you got any side on pics of yours?

Those are some older pictures. The car is dropped a little lower now, but also I run 225/35/18 rubber, which deceivingly makes the car look a little higher (rolling radius is slightly reduced.)

In addition the camber on the back is quite far inboard, which again is decieving as to ride height (Camber is being resolved at the mo)

[Faisal]

I'd say that was a 50mm drop

Isn't a FK grill is it? I've got one, and its rubbish! I'll get a bonrath or mattig one eventually

Your car still looks good though!

 

[18T_Tom]

Doesnt look much lower in them pics to me. Mine are 19's too. If you look at this thread the side on pic is bigger so you can get a better idea:-
