Looks nice. A drop and some lips and it would be even better.

Yeah its got a carbon wrapped bonnet and boot so its like a matt finish and cant polish it :(

As for the drop, the car was advertised with coilovers, but it turns out that its just a coilover spring kit in the boot ready to go on.
Iv never actualy fitted these things so any body got any sort of idea how they go on using my standadr shocks?

i dont know much about coilovers but arent you supposed to replace the springs and shocks as i made the bad move with my calibra where we lowred the car with lowerings springs but kpet the OE dampers (two years later my shocks are sort of knackered.

i could be wrong too lol

Yeah, I dropped my civic 40mm on 17s and it sat well.
My MR2 I put the full coilover kit on, and it looked awsome.

But this kit is just the springs and inserts. You ment to put them on with your standard shocks.
Got a mate that works for a tuning company in town and he rekons hes fitted some on a corsa and they didnt look to bad.
But dont know wether its worth it

Not something like this is it?

If it is, I'd stay on standard shocks/springs. Those kits are flipping dangerous!
