mine is down around 65mm over standard which is as low as it will go without causing real problems although it scrapes if it goes over curbs or humps to fast the front lower strut brace and rear sway bar also ride low with the ride height

some pics of ride height if you are interested currently sitting on road tyres

quick spec from the list I did when I was trying to sell it in case it gives you some ideas as most of the parts fitted were down to people giving me advice and help

BC racing coilovers with adjustable top mounts can be cornerweighted and adjusted for camber

Coilovers set up for optimal handling at Jamsport

Dampers can be adusted on the car with top adjusters front and rear

Rear upper Jamsport strut brace bolted into rear wings

Rear lower whiteline adjustable sway bar

Front eibach arb

Omp front lower strut brace

E-tech front upper strut brace

Eibach rear camber bolts

Magnex 4" catback stainless exhaust

Miltek decat pipe (mapped to run without EML coming on)

Alternative scorpion sports cat (for MOT)

Exhaust is loud and pops and bangs not suitable for anyone who wants a quiet car noise tested at 102DB at last test

Dreamscience stratagem handset

Currently mapped on RACE95CAIS map which allows you to run a decat without putting EML light on

Can be run on RACE97CAIS which adds to the power for track use but does not help MPG

K & N typhoon induction kit with heatshield

exhaust cam retimed for acceleration

Scangauge hardwired with OBD splitter cable to allow use of 2 OBD devices

Goodridge braided hoses front and rear

Front black diamond combi drilled and grooved discs

Front ferodo racing ds2500 pads

Motul race fluid

Cobra monaco pro drivers and passenger front seats (in FIA date)

Cobra evo (trs) 5 point FIA spec 4" harnesses for driver and passenger (in FIA date)

OMP wrc steering wheel

OMEX rev limiter with launch control with cowling mounted button

pro race 1.2s with r888's and oz superturismos with v7oa's

probably more that I can't remember

st170s get a lot of criticism as they are fairly slow and not particulary impressive but I have had a great deal of fun in mine and the reliability has never let me down on track

you can see where the turret has been trimed slightly to allow the adjustable top mount to be accessable. They can just bolt straight on but if you don't trim the turret you cannot adjust the camber once they are on the car hence the design flaw

I did initially have some concerns about the trimming but it was all set up by Jamsport who I trust and it handles spot on when cornering hard.

If I still have it next year it will be getting a full cage fitted as I have been taking it very easy on the track without one.
