Huge difference in the height at the front but not that noticable at the back......

Is that a 854/S70 spoiler on the roof?
Niles

its an aftermarket spoiler, cost me £65 (brand new), good mate of mine painted it. Top job & was easy to fit. As for the lowering, the first pic the car had LOADS of stuff in the boot, hence sitting low, the pic after is lower (without anything in the boot to weigh it down).

Car looks great mate but like people have said could do with some new wheels i would go for 17s but thats just my opinion

I used Jamex springs from 'Motorsportworld.Co.Uk', they say they drop the car by 35mm, i'd say its closer to 40mm, the shocks are the standard items, the rides great & cornerings much better, the ride isnt in anyway harsh. By the way........the engines great!

Car looks great mate! For sure changing the wheels will make alll the difference but it's amazing what a good lowering job can do for a well shaped car even on the std rims :)

and the front windows are which tint?.......legal? It looks great but is it legal?
Niles

havnt a clue wot the windows are tinted with or what 'grade', it came like that, as for legal it got its MOT, I spoke to the cops about it before the MOT & they said the only way an MOT'er cud fail it is if they had a light meter (they said it should let in 75% of outside light), light meters arnt that common in MOT garages (YET!!!).
