indeed, you go lower and stiffen the ride it becomes dodgy as hell in the wet and any surface with a bump on

well i've been told that i'd have to wait 12 weeks for the catalunya's!! Fuck that, I'm gonna need new tyres soon so that'll be £400 so i may aswell get some 15's that i want, tyres will be cheaper plus it will handle better. Not saying it handles badly but due to the low profiles the slightest bump or cat eye knocks the car about. Maybe it's me being a prick, i'm going to look through brochures but lets see what it brings, May consider cyclones.

oh plus it's going a bit lower but with adjustable dampers so i can make it a bit softer whilst leaving it low.

Just spent £900 on a new gearbox and clutch, spending another £800 on it so it would be silly to get rid at this stage imo. Otherwise yes as i want a g60 corrado.

TBH i love the Catalunya's but i'm not waiting 3 months as in that time i probably would of sold the car! 
Will search for some cyclones but they normally have a 50 profile tyre and are scuffed so will need tyres and refurb then it starts getting expensive as most go for around the £250 - £300.
