Awesome pictures! I like the top one It would look even better if you could capture the same colour scheme as the second photo??

Yeah I know, but that wasn't possible... In Belgium almost al the roadlights are to fucking orange.


This week I had one of the best updates EVER!

New springs and shocks.

Springs is the Eibach pro kit lowering about 30-40mm at the front and 30mm at the rear.
Shocks are the Bilstein B8 Sprints!

Handling is really amazing now.

Great set up, ive got the same on mine and find it realy good, ive also fitted H&R ARB's now aswell

Mine dropped abit more once it had afew hundred miles on it

car is almost the same height, Eibach Pro-kit lowers a little especially if car is already M-technic...but Bilstein B8 is an awesome upgrade...

btw is that dent on the rear left wing?

On that rear left wing it's a bit a rust... Hopefully I will fix it this summer..

You've been a busy boy! Nice to see a car being used properly. Keep it up!

Looks great!
Lowered by 60/40, am I right?

Wrong - Eibach springs = 35mm approx. all round

Nope,

it's almost what aj_mckay said...

Eibach pro kit springs:
Front between 30-40mm (approx. 35mm)
Rear : 30mm

60/40 is optical even better, but at some small rally-routes I like to drive here in the neigbourhoud I would touch the ground to often...

I think the next upgrades should be 'Bull bars' (4x4 style), racing stripes and a touch of 'leopard print' for the interior?????

On a serious note its great work mate, keep the updates coming! I wish I had a few pennies more to spend on my IS!
