Bockett,
Car looks immense mate. absolutely love it. Id be doing it too if i wasnt going the the power i am. I cant afford to have it that low.
So im stuck with my group n 18x8s
Love yours though chap, awesome work.
Just how much dicking around has it taken you to get it like that wheel wise and does it still scrub?

Yes it does rub but generally it's fine. Motorway driving isn't a problem it's mainly country roads that give a little scrub.

Except when it's your misses 
Ok ok low blow but every post I put up you always have something to say. Granted it's a forum so it's expected. That said the banter is some what entertaining
Yes it is a problem unlike some I don't deny it and argue it's the best road setup going. I may have argued it in the past but as for the rubbing on certain roads I deal with it and it's my choice to drive something that's impractical.

I never used to drive everywhere flat out so where I used to drive at a normal pace I still do.
Granted I can't go nailing it into S-bends and putting the back end out on a roundabout unless I want to bend an arch out of place but I have all winter to do that when I change my setup for a sensible one.
The way I describe it is like High Heels. They only get worn at weekends. They look good. The rub like anything and totally impractical
Rust is in fashion as well looking at your link, god I must be getting old here
saying that I do know someone who would have suited this look down to the ground even before it may have been in fashion
Rust was in fashion, called the 'rat look', it's very much on its way out if not gone IMO.
you learn something new every day I've never heard of it... still struggling with the roof racks I see on occassion full of tat 
I think that's something else that has passed me by
It is interesting I have to admit, well done on the mag article by the way car looks great in the pics 
I could not live that low at all as I have speed humps in my street plus I don't think I would get over the pavement onto my driveway. I suppose in some respects mine is quite low compared to many on the H&R -50mm springs, these actually dropped mine around 35mm against standard.
