my car has taken a few new mods since it was last on here.
I have my new wheels - Powertech 13x8"!!! My cars lowered 70mm. There is a full system exhaust underneath too (see all the photos to follow in a few minutes!)
With the wheels on it sits so fookin' low, and im almost too scared to drive it. Basically because when i was driving around on my steelies which raised it up more than it is now, i hit a house brick and nearly destroyed my sump.
Just interested to see what other people do with their' lowered cars. Its obvious to avoid speed bumps but hit a raised drain at 40mph at 1 in the morning and well, it isn't going to be pretty!!!
Are coilovers the only option so i can adjust my ride height for daily driving??Or can i remove the chassis bar underneath for a bit of extra clearance considering i have front & rear strut braces???

Steve (in the blue) / Paul (looking slightly chav to blend in at Tesco carpark!)
the car has been on 70mm with steelies for a while so used to driving it low.
on closer inspection the car appears to be hitting on round part of the front clamp holding the exhaust system to the manifold.
The cross bar underneath seems to clear ok and the centre box ok too but the manifold/system join is like an inch off the floor.
