erm.... you're all on stilts


daily driver r5 gtt -a lot all around lol...
on 13's , think it was about 21 splines on the back haha

yes... the sills scraped on kurbs... but you'd never get up the kurbs cause the front bumper never would lol, no spare wheel cause that was lower than the rear bumper and scraped on everything, exhaust didnt hit much!!!
only thing i had a real problem with was the rollcage bolts, i cut em a bit long and they sometimes caught... n when they caught, my god did it take a chunk out of the road!!

its not a zetec-s

Compomotive TH in 16x7 and i have no idea on the exact amount its lowered, all I know is i've got about half an inch left on the KWs so could be around the 70-80mm mark?

this is the front



car will be getting a new lick of paint soon if the weather ever holds out, something a bit different aswell hopefully.
