    This is when I bought it from up your way, north of the tyne.


    Bit of a crap pic, but just to show the difference, it's about 40mm lower just by changing the nivomat shocks but I plan to lower it further 30-40mm.


    As Mrp says his is about as low as you'd get it without coilovers

    Oh $h1T...

    Luckily, the subframe caught most of it before the sump got too involved and I don't think I'd have gotten away with it if I still had the old plod springs on either...





    I drove on the verge on the return trip lol.

    Grrrr.

    Scumbags!

    In all honesty, I wasn't looking to go that low with the car. I know an "ebay troll" who spotted this set of Apex springs with a start price of 99p and told me to offer £40 - which I did. For the price, I did pretty well. My front top spring seats are on their way out now though lol.

    I'll eventually get 18" or 19" wheels and bring the ride height up a bit, which would help.
