Don't do it!! It will tramline under heavy braking, ruin the ride quality and give you kerb related parking nightmares...

Same as Phok for me...H&R -50mm springs.

Rub occasionally if loaded up, or heavy cornering.

Sweet looking silver classic, one of the guys from on here owned this car (was looking at selling it I think, some time ago?).

Plenty more on www.scoobyphotos.com (now back online - v4!)

hi mate i bought the koni kit top adjustables all round and supposed 35-40mm drop cant fault the kit handling is mint if a bit harder than most though helps with limited clearance.pain to fit though because u have to cut existing shocks in half slide insert in and bolt from the bottom of the strut,wheels dont catch at all on the front though had to trim approx 3mm off of both rear arches this is based on7.5in wide rims and 215/35x18 tyres http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...d/PICT0037.jpg
