Hi mate, thanks Im happy with it

No rubbing on the rears, a little rubbing on the front now as ive dropped it a little more

Not taken anyone in the back of the car yet, i suspect a couple of fatties in the back will cause them to rub a bit.....

Who cares though, it looks wicked

Isn't damper travel an issue though with low ride heights?
