Right, after looking around for ages for a fcuking 18mm Deep Drop Ring Spanner, my mission was completed, and my car is now -35mm low all round With a lot of help from a Mate - Im rubbish with mechanics!

Set up is new GSi shocks with -35mm GMAX Shocks - I know a lot of people seem to slate GMAX, but they make the car look good, they were cheap, and it handles a lot better than it did a few days ago!!!

So:

Before:



Sunday (Rears only done :lol:



Today - Finito :







What you think?

Cheers

Future Plans are:

Backbox - No bigger than about 3inch,
Post 97 Bumpers in same finish as mine atm
Debadge Grille - What one is it thats just black vertical slats opposed to mesh?
DEPO smoked headlights

Then will have to review things, engine is on 127,750 atm so that may go pop! If so, a new 1.2 with 5 Gears! Will have to stay 1.2 due to insurance tho
