I agree with Damper, it should be hidden under the winglol
im not keen on the coil on display either - so next job will be to make one up that sits at the back of the engine i think.....
also thinking firewall may have to go?

its seemed to have made more difference on the back but the car still sits right so meh (a tiny bit of rake, just right).
lowering it that bit more and cranking up the dampers (ive turned them up to half way) has made a big difference.
easier to see the amount its dropped by in the garage so heres the gap before:

and after:

Decided after that to just quickly swap over the drivers side engine mount, so whipped the old one off, ssat it next to the new one.... hang on.... spot the difference...

being as i already fiddled with the mount to get the engine level this wasnt gonna work, so found a bit of decent thickness bar kicking about - drilled a few holes (bloody hard stuff as well)...

bolted up lovely:

has made such a difference to the noise inside the car, its like ive fitted another silencer... or a different engine - will get the rest fitted at some stage, but no rush now.
