I want to keep the original wheels for now, and i was about to post up about what mm spacers i should be looking at as i feel it has to be done as the arches are 'swollowing' the wheels slightly! so suggestions would be appreciated!

Nice

Yeah i thought i seems low for 60mm....ah well

Very cool mate! Are you happy with the kit? (ride comfort)

I'm very happy with the height, its perfect, theres no scrubbing at all, not even on full lock which is good! and the comfort is great! i expected it to be rough but it isn't at all! almost feels standard but more responsive and less body roll

Congrats Chris, I am glad you are pleased with the appearance/handling/comfort.

I must admit I also think it looks quite low for -60, but it does look very good at that height.

Im beggining to wonder if he slipped me the 80mm kit instead

lol.

Anyway, theres still plenty of gap between the top of the arch and the tyre when i put my finger there, and towards the sides so i aint complaining

I want a kit now too

jealousy is a terrible thing

Looking forward to the meeting point for E38 - gonna get a pic of yours side by side with mine for a "before and after" stylee pic

Fingers crossed, I'll follow your lead and lower mine before the year is out...

Lol yep, that will be a good pic

Just come back from having the tracking all sorted, and i had the chance to 'test it out' round some corners (hot and dry weather also! bonus) Im chuffed with how much nicer it feels round corners! Although i went round abit of a bumpy corner and did hear my tyre catch my arch slightly...ah well

Off topic quickly - I'm hoping they'll be quite a few of us to convoy to the show

Chris, if u do get a pic next to Si then make sure its on nice level flat ground and then u can measure how far the kit has dropped ur car!!

it looks low for 60mm but it could just be the camera angle. mine is dropped 60mm and urs seems lower although mines on 16s whereas urs is on 15s.........not sure if that would make any difference
