ah dont get a lower.. they are great dont get me wrong..

when i had mine fitted there is a turn off the duel carage way when going into basingstoke town center and before i fitted it i could only get 50mph round the corner as it would be washing out any faster. but after i fitted it i was able to push it just past 60 and it started washing out then...

but i kinda broke it in half after going airborn down a country road so they are kinda brittle lol
