Also a lowered car has a lower centre of gravity, and more importantly a lower roll centre. So that can benefit the handling too. But not as much by far IMHO as stiffer ARBs :thumbup:

You can see how high mine is in the 1st pic(shiney tho:biggrinSmile
Dean your back wheel looks nice and low in the last pic obviously due to where it's parked but should be about there height wise I think, maybe a tad lower.

No mate that's how high 99plate SE's sit plus I think mine was leaning to the other side due to the ground.
Don't worry tho it'll be much lower after Chrimbo.

Ormi, you won't believe how much of a difference the ARBs make compared to the springs. Trust me, the springs are a waste of money in comparison (though I have both, I just mean if you're chosing between one or the other) :thumbup:
