Looks good but too low now imo

Looks fine mate, as long as you can drive it its fine :D

LOL @ scuffs on undertray. Maybe time to try and mock up a steel guard for down there? :D (or do as I do and don't bother with the tray at all)

Bit lower than mine, I'm thinking of taking adjusters out the back and lowering a bit more

Having coilovers fitttted next week and not sure how low to go - I like the look of yours when wou first lowered it with a slight gap above the wheels - what drop did you use - I'm thinking about 40mm for mine - any advice?

Now yours looks low at the front. What coilies you on? I know your wheels are 17 but they look huge

Does your undertraY catch on EVERYTHING? Mine did even on what appeared to be flat roads. So it came off as it got smashed on some cats eyes. Id say the only person whos lower than me and you is catman but hes had a chassis notch and doesnt drive it daily :-P

Not really caught on much. I have to dodge dead animals in the road tho. Yeah catman is silly low I wondered how. Yours looks lower than mine. Do me a favour n measure how far off the ground the splitter is in the centre

Mines 11cm

Haha ok ill do it now as im putting my interior back in. Ill wait till ive finished it might lower it a bit more haha

Just under 10. Thats not my drooping central splitter bit either haha.

i have a really crappy exit out of my garage and weather in my MR2, Fabia or Felicia all three scrap everytime at standard ride height.

my Porsche now has 67mm ground clearance from the lowest point on the car and 79mm clearance on centre of front end, but i trailer the car to track days nowdadays. the rose joints, pillowballs, poly bushes, and 35 sidewall profile track tyres make it very very harsh on the roads anyways

and it costs less to get my mate to drive his little 1.7cdti astra and tow my Porsche than it does to drive the porsche to castle combe anyway

im in the office at the moment, if the thread is still going strong tomorrow i will take the Porsche out of the garage and post some pics

Does peoples tyres not scrub off on the inside really quick with it being so low ?

I've lifted my front end and got cupra bushes and the inside of the tyres still wear quicker than the rest, not as fast as it did before the bushes and suspension lift up but it's still crap !

YuP lol

Your on 16s so not invited sorry. :rofl:

Why not measure the arch or something? Splitters seem to get a bit saggy after a while, hardly accurate. Plus I dont have one pmsl
