You lower it that much and you'll very much regret it as it will coprimise the ride and handling no end on our roads.

Leave the ride height where it is... but add a very light smoke tint to ALL the windows rather than the un-finished look. IMO.


Cheers,

No - too low...

Spend the money on getting your drive levelled off instead - terrible slope you have on it there..

I've got a DBM classic with SuperL's, Eibach springs and tints - I can't wait for the warm weather to get the damn windows back to normal..

Leave it alone, it looks great . . . . . . . although Sti lights would make it look even greatererer.

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .

I don't mind the tints, but lowering that much makes it look like a (now whats PS Lewis's favourite expression ) oh yes - it makes it look like a chav drives it !!

Only my opinion for what it is worth.
