Lowered 40mm & Alloys Fitted.

Well there are three pictures. Two are crap because they are with my phone and the third makes my car look purple! I'll need a proper digicam methinks...

Pictures make them look rubbish, but in real life... mmmm.

Anyway.

Re: Lowered 40mm & Alloys Fitted.

Have you pictures of yours fitted? I've never seen a picture lowered on them yet.

Re: Lowered 40mm & Alloys Fitted.

Everyone seems to have the same problem with the GP thats even after lowering, the car still seems quite high!!

Are those PI springs progressive types?
