My car has never sat how I want it to. Spent years with it a bit high at the front compared with the rear & now its lower at the front, but even lower at the rear on the coilovers turrets.

I just can't get away from the 'Skyridin' stance.

[Adam]

My front now sits higher than in that pic, due to the Avo's.
THey bottom out before you can get it sitting at the same height as in that pic :(

[walshc]

raise....raise....walsh, slap yourself very hard right about .....now!!!

Yeah but you havent got a baby XE in yours with a stupid downpipe :(

Did it myself mate, on the side of the road lol used 9, 400ml rattle cans alltogether

Its actually a pretty good finish considering. Its easy-ish to do, just tiring on the old wa*k muscle :roll:
I wouldnt try it if youve never sprayed anything before though

Unsure on the LET as on coilovers but looks similar to Wilson's.

[wilson_sri]

That my old springs Lee? Always loved the stance when they were on my nova, yours looks sweet aswell!

Harsh ride that low on the coilys! lol

[Lee H]

Yeah, sits just level and is still fairly comfy.

Not driven the turbo yet but know it will be awful.

[Benn]

About 80-100mm front (looks abit high here) and 100-120ish rear... Where can i measure to get a true reading?

Cool reg :cool:

[craig green]

God that picture is cool. Lovely car when finished.

[wilson_sri]

Get plastic filler and smooth the lines off, then respray it matt black. That would look differant and prety cool, but still subtle!
My mate done the same on his golf vr6, looked great. Il try get a pic to show you what i mean.

[Benn]

centre of the wheel to the top of the arch or sill to floor
