Fairly happy with it now it's lower,
Been wanting it for 3 years or so all I needed was to break up with the mrs and boom!

I would go for 185/45's for the better grip but the 165's would look better thats for sure

Keep the updates coming mate

6.5j nothing spectacular mate. I'm not too bothered about the grip I barely ever get it above 40 down here so it's not really a problem for me haha

Good tyres for grip ate still worth it even if your not doin high speeds, then least you can chuck it into corners still

Mine are 7j and I've been told to go for 165/50 but I don't want big stretch I'm thinkin 175 or 185

I just want it as low as possible and if ita going that low I won't be hammering it at all purely for the fact tht I quite like my sump haha. I dunno I'm just gonna wing it and see what happens man. I've not got the money to sort at the moment anyway

Yeh I know what your sayin mate, I'm hopin to do the sane when my borbets are on with stretch I should be able to go alot lower, especially when I get stiffer coilies

I'm on APs purchased from Craig which I think is half the problem. They're too comfy ;p

I'm only on budget PhilJ coilies but they was only temporary to get me low and this year I'm gonna go for a much better set

Could highly rate the APs I love them! Still a long way to wind them down too.

I'm thinking APs or summin like that but it won't be for a while as body works top of the list

So work is continuing. Unis done

Got the halos on which I'm happy with I've just given the spoiler a spray so that is to come in the next couple of weeks. Also has te baffles go in my centre silencer, at first I was pissed off but I went to a garage they said 2 options replace or remove. She sounds amazing now!

Also had an argument with a local police officer over the legality of the pressed plates and lets just say I made him look an idiot.
