Recently had my nova all re sprayed, and a KC body kit fitted. problem is its been back to the body shop twice because the bumper is only 2inch of the ground.(cracked it) i have 16in and its lowered 40mm all round. is there any decent suspension kits where the lowering isnt to much?? and the handling is still quality, i can only find 35mm nothing less. sometimes i wish i had a button i could press to raise it up for a bump. i really have to think where im gonna be driving.

if youve only got 2" of ground clearance even fitting a totally std GTE suspension kit is only gonna raise it by another 1-1.5"

however that kit u have isnt -40mm

u should have a reasonable gap between your arch and your tyre on the front with 40mm and thats almost touching

get me a closer pic and i'll tell u for sure - however im gonna take a wild guess and say its a gmax -40mm kit for a GTE... if so then its defo -60 becuase gmax are stupid and seem to think the gte was lowered 20mm at the factory (more like 5-10mm), my bro has one of those kits too and its defo -60

why the hell did u fit a bodykit that only left u with 50mm ground clearance anyway??

im not sure what the susp kit is, was told when i brought it that its 40mm all round. i got the origanal gsi susp but i want summets thats gonna handle well, the susp looks nowt special. brought kit cause it looked nice, didnt expect it to be that low. cars waiting for a new engine at the mo, cant get another picture in a hurry. the 1.6gsi engines fcked up so time for the c20xe.
