Ruined it already :/
Why on earth do you all think it looks good that low on the rear, honestly do you not think it looks broken?
a 60mm drop so the arch JUST covers the top of the tyre wall looks fantastic, I hope you rescue it

feltspec ftw, love how it sits, when i swaped the axle was standard height, was only gonna go 2 nicks, but decided on 3, bump stops cut in half as she was 4 nicks before, but was to bouncy at tht
the spliters ruined tbh, battering of the ground al the times sore on them lol
got an exhaust on it atleast, sounded unrea without one but the ree coming inside was killing me

I can't help but read your posts in an Irish accent
Looks epic but would be better if the back was raised IMO

Got to admit i do love them slammed. This on is a bit to low on the rear though.
But seriously why even bother tuning the engine. May as take the DT lump out and put a 1.1 in there. Because id be scared to go above 30mph with the beam like that and SAXO springs that arnt rated for any thing near the weight of a DT, because the handling on that set up is fecking dangerus . I know from 1st hand experience how bad it is because iv driven a DT with a beam that low and TU springs.
But looks over drivabilty i guess

Thats the thing... im sure your fully aware it handles like shit, and im sure you dont need patronising by someone who doesent agree with it.
It is afterall your car, your choice, if someone doesent like it thats their issue! You do it for your tastes, noone is forcing them to drive it! I love it anyway, i thought you had coilovers up front! Get coilovers, the saxo springs will max out the stock shocks fair quick....

Each to there own aint it. some people like wrecked lows, others like well handling cars.

Yee.... you can get shorter coilover springs though, and if he fitted them correct he WILL be been lower on the front plus its alot safer than your current setup. A mate of mine ran coilovers with helpers out and the same splitter as yours would of been on the floor constantly (folded under), hes now got special suspension and his BUMPER is half a inch from the floor..... Come on Ricky, coilovers and custom springs, get it abit lower
