Not sure if that sits a little too low now tbh! But I'm guessing in some ways you've done it for function over form?

Looks like it probably had Bilsteins or something as standard anyway did it?

Graham, go get it set up properly somewhere, I bet they don't leave it that low and whoever does it if they know their shit will have it handling even better.

The front is only sitting a little bit lower than before, the back in that last picture I had the old struts etc in the boot so it's not sitting quite that low! I wanted the tyres to meet the arches which is what I have done

It had eibachs as standard mate, think it's only 25mm or something like that, I'm probably down about 40mm now. The coilovers aren't for scene low so they don't go very low!

I am looking to probably go to Dixon Motorsport for a setup, I need to ask them if they want me to get adjustable rear arms first so they can setup rear camber, but they might not think it's worth it on a FWD car. It's another £200 if they think I'll need them! Definetly going to run some camber though.
