Yeah guys its Green/Sarehole Rd. Only reason I went through it was because it was under a foot!!

God-father88 what car were you getting the subs fitted in and why Bass bin? They're sooo expensive!!!! I just live 2 secs away from there.

Azev's aren't staggered. 16X9 all round. I want to adjust the camber to get a little tilt, :cool: as much as it'll go without changing top mounts, arms and so on.

Not sure exactly how low it is.....just a set of old springs I got my hands on!! I like the height on the back but the front is just too high. I'm planning to change the full suspension just to improve ride and get it lower.

I have to plan my routes very carefully before I go anywhere, just to make sure I still have my sump when i get back!! :D

PS do you live in sparkhill??

Just stick to Stratford rd or Warwick rd...No bumps!!! And Percy Rd is known for flooding aswell, but I guess the weathers getting better now so that's not very likely. :D
