Was wondering if theres any nice splitters to install under a ech 2 splitter just a small one.

I was thinking this, but I dont know if I'm being a dick and will look like a coont and a chavmobile.

I've had a bottle and a half of wine and I think I'm being silly.

the standard thin black lip will fit as Rav said and it has been done before but how long it will live for is anyone's guess.

As above, but you need to turn it upside down for it to fit.

I would leave it then Matt, you'll end up damaging the Mtech 2 valance.

Yeh thats what I thought and dont want to rip it off, I'mconsidering fitting mtech 20mm lower springs rather than 40mm too, as it seems to scrape out so easily exhaust and splitter

What ride height are you running front and rear? I guess you dont know if there on adjustables.

What did that set up cost roughly?

Shocks were £100 for the rear set, and can't remember how much the fronts were.
I bought them of Jimmy (RPM) on here.

Whatever ride height it's at is down to the springs. Dampers (shocks) have nothing to do with static ride height!
