Cheers for the comments everyone, it makes the work worth it.... :D

Jimmy, i have lowered it by 60mm on the front and i have used 50mm corsa rear springs as with every kit you buy the back always sits a bit higher, so i did my research ws gonna fit 60mm rear corsa springs but apparently that is too low..

I am using 195/55 tyres which are fine as the wheels have an offset of 36... found the wheels all seperately as most were from scrapyards as they were tigra / astra mk3 spares.. as you may well know :)

God dam it we're moving house soon an there is speed bump's in the street we're moving to so I'm unsure weather to go that low :?

Its a shame cause you have achieved the look I'm aiming/hoping to achieve lol :cool I'm running 195/55 aswell do you get any rubbing/scraping at all?
How come you regret it is the ride harsh?

I don't have any rubbing problems, it's just a bit bouncy and i forgot how sh** roads are these days... so i just need some shortened shocks!!

But i love it otherwise!! ;)

I would like to space the rear wheels out a bit as they do seem to sit in so far!!

Have you found any of these steel wheels yet Jimmy? :wave
