Lowered

Hello Everyone,
Nice to see you all again, it's been a while.

Let me start off topic and say my plans to modify my car are now GONE!. I am getting married in Febuary and all my funds and resources are ploughing into that.

I have recently had my car lowered.

From 4x4 status to a comfy 40mm lower height (maybe 38mm)
With the use of King Springs Lows front and rear.

BEFORE


AFTER



Looks pretty damn good i must say.



David

Hi again Dave,

That looks like a nice ride height, how does it feel on the road now compared to before?

Mate that looks real good. I definitely need to get low springs for mine. They are only lows you say? I wonder how low the super lows would be? Do you get any scrubbing of guards or anything?

Thanks for your supportive comments

The ride feels great i never took much notice before i did it, though i do need to learn to take the bigger speed humps and driveways at an angle, i have got some serious scratches on the front lip.
Super Lows were my first choice, but i was informed at the time that they were not available, maybe they are now

Yes, my car does need a clean, those pictures are from a few months ago and is still just as dirty, it got a high pressure soaping and rinse 2 weeks ago.


Thanks again for your comments.


David
