Car has had custom made coilovers fitted to It. It doesn't ride on bump stops at all. Due to the double wishbone suspension set up on rear I have had to cut a section out of in arch/chassis to get suspension to travel in to car with no touching anywhere. Lowest part of car is around 35mm from road. I get tyre rub on full lock but I am getting smaller tyres fitted soon. And as for new wheels?? No chance. I love to have my car looking stock but with a savage static drop on it .

It really isn't a good look in my honest opinion. It just looks daft!! I'm guessing you're very young.
Familiarise yourself with the wanted section. You'll soon be needing a new sump or exhaust.

I'm 32 and have been driving static dropped vehicles since 1997!

I like the look bud, but I would seriously worry being that low. And I'd hate to be restricted about where I could go. I know you said in your other post you were going to have a skid plate fitted. I'd say that's a must! How far off the ground is your sump/downpipe?

Still, it's your ride bud

... And good age

Sump is protected by the lower brace going front to back. And exhaust cat and centre box are being removed this week so the boxes don't hit the Road whilst driving

I'd recommend more protection than that bud. The passenger side of the sump is more prone to being hit as it's so much lower and bulky.

Who custom made the coilovers I work very closely with most UK suspension companies even with you getting full travel the spring rate and damper stiffness will be way to high to give you optimum handling and keep it flat enough to sustain that drop without the tyres hitting the top of the arch linings on hard driving
