I just thought I would upload a couple of pics, yesterday saw Mr Si13 lower my 4 door by 40mm.

Started Like this

By about 8 last night and working with a lead light, she was looking like this.

Next weekend sees this being fitted,aswell as a sport interior with any luck.

We also changed the control arm bushes for the M3 ones aswell as new ARB bushes and drop links, the diffenrence in the way it drives is astounding, so pleased with how it's turned out.
Future plans are to change the bootlid for a non spoiler one, new tyres, shadowline, fog lights and a new dash board, all in good time though, it's taken me two years to get this far :o:

Thanks for the comments chaps.

Ride quality is still very good, it's certainly stiffer but not too much.

It's a Jetex exhaust.

I have an interior lined up.

It is a very good looking 4 door. The silver paint which looks immaculate pulls the extra doors off well.

Top car, well done to Si for helping out as well. This was his payback for the detailing on his touring I presume.

Cheers, i'm loving this car now, I can't beleive how well it drives now and the lower ride height really suits the 4 doors I reckon.

I owe Si big time for this, yesterday was a hard one.

The only detailing work I have done on the touring is carpet cleaning, I will be carrying out some paint correction as soon as the weather improves, really looking forward to that actaually, it's going to look very nice once it's all done.

powelly, love your work! The car's looking very nice indeed. And seeing that iS lip makes me want one for mine. You will never regret the drop in ride height. The drop you've chosen is pretty much perfect, too, in terms of driving "integrity". Top choice! And keep up the good work.
