i think it is one of those great feelings when your car starts looking how you want it....

when i bought & picked up the 323 recently it looked like it had been lifted by 6 inches so when i collected it from the garage after fitting the 40mm drop springs it just looked amazing.

i think anymore than 40mm is not really necessary but it is personal choice..

well done mate - keep the pics coming..

Mate, I can tell you're very happy with that! It looks nice. I think lowering is one of the best mods you can do for appearance. I can't wait to have mine done!!! :mad:
