why have you cut the new front arches,there are meant to be bolt on not bond
you will not be able to lower the rear anymore as the axle will have no travel if you try
if you want to go lower on the front the tops of the chassis legs need to be cut to follow the curve of the wheel
if i was you i would bin those replica arches and get some proper spec items from mdv,those that you have look a recipe for disaster and i would expect them to crack very quicky
looks like its going to be a beast

a standard spring is around 9", a kw item is around 7" and thats before its compressed
only other option is to strengthen the rear turrets and put a full coilover damper on like i did,but again you will have to modify the axle to suit,get m-sport to send you some pics of how there modify theres

just to let people know the full stright through exhaust on this car is up for sale,its unreal,and hasnt been used apart from to go down the road to test the engine build,it sounds like a rally car.
only selling coz its in the way of the back being loward so im having another made up specially.
pm me if interested.
its a full 3" stainless area six built stright through and is not for the faint hearted or those with moaning neighbours.

trail fitting the focusRS fins
splitter will not fit flush as the intercooler wont allow it because of the airscoops to the brakes and its too low down so adjustments will have to be made
and random pics,sorry,not the steadiest of hands.will let g/f do it next time lol.
OH,just bought a private plate that says [ MAD ST ]
