I'd say it looks lowered too, though side skirts can make a car look lower than it actually is sometimes.

Either way, it looks great. Really like the Schumacher kit

Thanks for your kind comments.

I have had a look at the springs and they are black so hard to tell other than by looking at it side on. When i look at other peoples pics on here of their Stilos (ones that have definately not been lowered) then mine looks low in comparison. It would be my guess to that it has been lowered about 30-35mm as it looks similar to Rackham's ride height but not as low as Coyle's

Re: Alloy Sizes?? And pictures :D

i agree with you there mate. does look lowered. but its hard to tell. the front bumper looks low, but there seems to be good clearance between front wheel and arch
I do think its been dropped abit though. it looks lower than standard, but not as low as mine. 30/35 mm sounds like a good call to me.
does it look lower at the back? what you need to do is park next to a stilo one day..anyone you know or just a randomer. and compare the two side by side.

Re: Alloy Sizes?? And pictures :D

If you can't read the wording on the springs themselves then the easiest thing to do is measure ground clearance exactly under the 4 jacking points.

You'd then need to compare against another Stilo with the SAME engine.
