yeah something like 25-30mm.

the difference is so much better in real life and the car feels so planted now, rather than lifting up on the front under heavy acceleration.

oh and just to add, you don't go down -90mm on these cars as i'm sure some people will say it isn't low enough

the front bumper scrapes on speedbumps as standard anyway as it's so deep, so you can't realistically go down too much or you'll end up forking out a lot of money for new bodywork

cheers i wasn't sure on them at first but it breaks up the colour nicely and just looks a bit different from the usual viper stripes.

yea its the same with all the new cars tho.

The ST, VXR, R32 etc. they only need -30mm to look the nuts. And as the ST's handle well before, i can only imagine what it's like now!

Looks spot on!

Car looks good Ben

I'm tempted by some coilovers but realistically don't need more than 20mm.

nice car, i like it alot

as what you said about lowering 80mm, its okay on a corsa when you can replace bumpers etc for small amounts of money, but i doubt your front bumper is available down the scrappy for a tenner is it!?
