Just got the car back from the garage. got the new Springs yesterday so they put them on for me. much better now. lowered about 40mm and heck of a lot better and more responsive on handling now too. A mate of mine I used to goto school with owns a garage and fitted them for me for next to nothing so that worked out well and saved me a few hundred pounds. So finally the chariot is finished. May well get the R spoiler on soon. havent decided if it needs it or not yet....!!!

I have kept the original ones on mate as the ride on them is firm and comfortable. I didnt want to feel every bump in the road like I did on my previous R.....

Looking good storm-troll. I always think slightly lower the old ovlovs look far better as despite the size of R alloys they still dont look quite right on standard suspension as there is too much of a gap still at the top of the arch.

totaly agree matey. there was way too much of a gap, especially with the low profile tires on the wheels but it looks right now...
