mines got 90mm ones on it but i run 17s so no point me getting any pics of that for ya, its the round arches that do it just makes em look higher, if i get chance tomorrow ill sling a couple of 15s on the saloon a take a pic to see what it looks like

That would be awsome if you could. But ive also been thinking of making the front higher to match the back so it wont look so high on the rear? but might make the whole car look high :confused:

looks cool mate. im starting to love the saloons. just imagine a few yers ago youd of get slated for having a saloon. the saloons allways have trouble going low on the back because of the round arches makes them look high.

sloth tbh i wouldnt want to cut any spring i would wait to have some made up or put coilover on if i can find some cheep

10 minutes with a hot air gun and it will look 100% better:

you need smoooth peanut butter on your bumpers...

looks nice - you coming to PV this year?

hot air gun is okay buit see how you can see the "patch effect" - peanut butter much quicker and it'll lift all the pishy gunk and protect them for much longer

Yea ade im coming for sure. Dont fancy using hot gun or peanut butter plus i would eat it as i go then feel ill lol

Ive got anthacite (sp) paint to paint the bumpers as i think it will look good in that colour. just need to get etch primmer to do so


And cheers for the comments lads. i will try and sort the ride hight soon
