Car is now about 20-25mm lower from the last mimms meet. Still dont have any tyre rub and 4ws is still working with no arch scraping. Custom coilovers arr being used. And the main trouble I had was the rear upper wishbones. I have had to cut section of inner arch to allow wishbone to travel properly without hitting the car. Car still drives very well. It is slightly more uncomfortable than standard but it is no where near what you would expect. Everyone who comes out in it forgets straight away that they are in a car that is this low.

How about fitting one of these to the bumper? I'm sure you could flex it to fit and you could clean the streets as you go...

Hey @Zangief, do they not have speed bumps where you live? Also, how many times a day do you hit the floor when driving? Mine is nowhere near that low and I struggle on our roads now, much lower and I'd get stranded between speed bumps!

Come all this time and you still haven't explained where the custom coilovers are from or what kind of spring rates you're running, share the love already!

Edit: Just realised how old this thread is :oops:
