Well today i lowerd my car 60mm on apex springs.

Use to sit like a tractor so i decided to just get some springs for now, will get a full kit or maybe coilovers soon.

The 16's will be coming off in the next few days and some cav gsi wheels will be going bk on in the next few days, so it should sit lower and also when the springs settle in it should go a bit lower.


Pics:

Before,



After:





And also a quick pic of my mates car:



Comments please
