Iv start thinking bout new springs for my car, because its starting to get really sh*t now, speedbumps, crap roads that we pay load of tax for, even my drive way that I can't really get in.
Even tho I really like the look of it, I know very chav like!lol
Alll I know about the springs on the car now, is what the old owner told me, which was they were some make 40mm lowering spring and then they were cut, but could remember by how much.
I'v been thinking of either getting more 40mm spring but leaving them alone, or if he hasn't cut much off the 40mms on it at the mo, then i shall look at 30mm drop spring.
So a big thanks for any guess on how low she is.

Fuck cutting springs mate, if it is just springs on that I'd get a proper suspension kit. Doesn't have to break the bank, but overall ride and feel will be a lot better too and your car doesn't look THAT low either to me, my Focus' front splitter looks like it sits a lot lower than that. It's about 4-5" off the ground and catches most of the time on high kerbs.

I've got a nice set of -30mm cobra springs that would be just the job
The fact you've got 15's doesn't help with ground clearance either, i had 15's and lowered 60mm when i first got mine and it was awful for scraping on everything lol
