Nice car mate
How about a wee detango? Nice and easy mod, should only take you an hour or so and makes a big difference to the front end.... maybe de-badge the boot too? Go for that nice clean uncluttered look

I have had the Prodrive camber settings done today (Lowering puts the geometry out) and the car now drives very well.. I'd say on first impressions the ride is a little softer on the road...I'm not in a position to offer any advice/opinions on Tein vs the Prodrive springs (EIBACH)...I went for the Teins because after looking around this site the Teins helped sit the car a little lower ;-)

That ride height looks
. Very level and lower than Prodrive springs.
Just one question though...............
How much do the Tein's lower the car by?
Perhaps the poster is a bit mutton...........

sorry bob...
TEIN S.TECH Springs is an excellent step towards suspension tuning. They offer approximately a 1.5 inch drop for a more aggressive appearance. The Tein S-Tech spring increased performance is attained by variance of spring rate and coil design. Driver’s will experience a feeling of increased control, more stability and reduced body roll during cornering. All Tein S.Tech springs are developed to be used in conjunction with OEM or OEM replacement shocks. Each Tein S.Tech Spring is road tested in the US for proper balance between performance and comfort. The line is produced with vanadium (SAE9254V), which is durable lightweight and has properties to retain more spring stroke. Tein S-Tech Spring length is guaranteed not to sag more than 5mm and to be clear of any manufacture defects (see limited warranty for more details)

Rear -1.6
Front -0.9
