That was what I was trying to explain to you in your other thread...:) Definately need a drop on 20s.

seano,

wasnt your car slightly lower than your mates?

just because you havent upgraded springs doesnt mean a previous owner didnt. you could have Z springs and not know it...

clean the springs and check for any spots of paint colour, theyll ID the springs,

Very good point, i will check this when i change my comp rod bushings. I doubt it though you would assume the previous owner would mention that as a selling point.

Could be right, my car does look a lot lower than the pictures above though. Might just be because my rims and tyres are only stock 18s but yeah. When i get time to do my comp rod bushings i'll take some pics of the springs is there any way you can properly tell apart from paint marks?

I wouldn't rely on photo comparisons alone to determine if you are lowered or not. Your springs and shocks could well be tired and sagged a lot more than your mates both being factory suspension. As I mentioned earlier as well, overall wheel diameter could also have an effect, so maybe let us know what tire profiles you are running on your 18s as well. A difference or 10-15mm could give u a slightly lowered look

Marshan: No I wasn't running 17's, I was running 19's LOL
