Making the rest of us look slow!

Good stuff. Nice to see pics of someone elses project - I'm sick of seeing mine ever time I go in the shed!

Looks fantastic.

I love the stance.

What sort of springs are in the front ?

I am about to get Speed Directs semi coil overs so I can bring the front down over the wheels a bit more.

What size are the rims/tyres? They look like 20's.
That car must be sitting very low. How's the clearance to the sump and front air dam?

22's with 245/30. all is good clearance wise, the only things that r a bit low r the exctractors.
