s2 turbo rite so there 15's yeh and what profile tyres are u using? Hate to be a bit stupid but you mentioned that its 70mm drop is that by using just lowering springs? Becuase the lowest i can see available are 60mm so where u get the 70mm from or they coilovers or soming?

Ours is dropped 55mm and it's a bit too low really. 40mm would be about right to keep it loking nice without complete buggering the way the car drives. Ask on FT.com and I guarantee the kiddies on there will bleat on about coilovers and or G-Max

Snap. But they aren't too bad. Shouldn't catch at all when I change the springs for some not quite as low items. Only reason it was dropped 55mm was because I had the springs in my spares bin.



Looks good but it isn't nice to drive. Roll on the Koni TA and Eibach springs
