Default Anyone got any pics of Series 1's lowered 35 + 60mm?
im thinking whether to go -35 or -60mm on my springs, but i need some piccies of each on standard wheels if poss.

Any pics would be great though.

Thanks
Mike

60mm is too harsh a ride unless you drive on totally flat roads al lthe time. It's bad enough on 35mm mate.
Haven't got any picsot hand for you tho, but NUF looks to be around that mark but is on coilovers so might be wound right down for the show only.

The S1 looks ridiculous IMO!
