Looks like you need some new springs for the back Simon.

mine was just like that when i last picked my lady up fro uni... i though it' looked much better than my standard suspension.... almost thought that carrying around a load of bricks would be a good cheap/easily reversible way of lowering my car.....

It's surprising how much better they look lowered. This is the first car I've lowered and I wish I'd done it to all my cars now! Grip's quite vicious though - it's much harder to drift!
