lowered my sei

just lowered my sei 50mm on novitech springs and it looks sweet, no where near as low as i expected, the sills are still about 4 or 5 inches off the floor but with my splitter on the front bumper is 1.5" off the floor:D and looks amazing

iirc i said i didn't know if i could get a sei to out handle a nova, well i can, the handling is out of this world!
the wheels fill the arches as well, i will post piccys when i can

has anyone one else had quite a lot of suspension noise when on lowered sei? mine is quite noisy now

i love novas but its time for a change

Check see if the anti roll bar is catching the bottom of the inner wings near the lower suspension arm, some controlled violence may be needed to adjust things.

you shoulda trimmed the bump stops when fitting the lowering springs, its much easier to do it then.

some of the noise will be the springs settling in.
