ended up getting about 2inches lower, guards just above the wheels now. Looks so much better.

the equipment ended up being a mix of 200SX and s13 fitments, plus the electronic adjustment function of the suspension was removed up front.... kept at the back for a tidbit of extra adjustment.

used sports ryder coil springs, new struts and replaced all radius rod bushes (they were farked).... much nicer now, but big speed humps scare me. got a bit of the ol grind going - so I am going to cut down the mud flaps and maybe put a brace protector over the exhaust at its lowest point like I did on my ol truck - its a great way to protect your new turbo back exhaust from getting squished!

I will have some photos in an hour or so when my furkin camera finished charging.

so much for not spending money on the ceffy!

if anyone wants the product codes for the exact bits you will need to drop a stock ceffy just ask I have them here today.

can you take some underbody shots when u have time ?? my stock exhuast gets scraped on reasonably small humps... can't imagine what it will be like with aftermarket exhuast..

make sure its not your mud flaps those things hang quite low and make a surprisingly nasty noise. If it is your exhaust, what height are you at? It looks pretty low from the pics I have seen (if mem serves me correctly).

i don't have a cannon style muffler, I have a stock looking end - that might be a better option, but first, where does yours actually get scraped?

I took my mud flaps off the first week of having the car because they scraped way to much, havnt got any stone chips just a build up of rubber up on the bumper, lol, i also have 7" cannon only scrapes on steep driveways but my car is only standard height

lol man im not looking forward to getting mine on the streets then... i won be putting a cannon on mine tho... i'll be using a set of twins with an oval muffler which should give a little more room

I'd say thats the way to go, and pull off the mud guards.... will look heaps better without them anyway

thanks for putting up the underbody pics kursed :D

my car looks a little lower than that... it was 50mm off the ground when it first got here... still too low i think.. i wouldn't care if i was scraping the front bar or any bodyparts but it sounds like i'm scraping the exhuast... (mine doesn't have mud flaps either..)

you'd be lucky to fit a tally ho under the lowest part of your car john :(

Mine came here with only 90mm front. I couldnt get shi*t under there to change the worn out tyres. Even the mechanic hoists coudnt help as i wasnt able to go over it due to the front bar. Ended up having to use a mini-jack to get it to reasonable height then take the larger jack later on.

mine with 50mm...

gee man.. looks like no westfields or stanmore maccas for yourslef. :jk:

when i saw your car last time at grey imports. It didnt seem that low?.. I must have been looking at it wrongly. Also sorry i didnt take any pics because i stopped going there. He was always too busy.
