cool Picture and nice Deep dish
But Maybe you need to Put some Spacers to make the Rear Come out a little bit

Maybe 10 - 15mm spacer?

thanks matey

Well I was thinking about getting the offset adjusted for the rear but found out that spacers are illegal in oz and insurance Co. have a fit if they find them on a car during a claim.

Therefore didn't want to risk it - also u need to get the studs longer not to put too much pressure on the wheels.

I'm open for comments and opinons on spacers though

Thanks
Mike

Still illegal in NSW at least.

Nice wheels. Any problems with speed humps with that drop?

yes that's what I thought and didn't want to take a chance with insurance as they have been cool so far....

no probs with spped humps as long as they are huge and even then if you get the angle right u should be fine.... however the main probs are steep inclines in shoping centers - they are NASTY!!! matter of biting ur teeth and taking it slow....

Handling is like a roller coaster though - cannot get the back to slide out anymore - just sticks like glue to corners - It doesnt feel like the backs light anymore as I felt that the back came out around harsh corners quite easily on stock.

The pics are at bad angles so it does look lower than it is - guess its just a give and take thing - I lover corners and the look of a lower stance and since its only a weekend driver I can get away with it.

Here's a pic before the suspension - You'll see what I mean
Highly recommond H&R coils if you don't mind a slightly stiffer ride.
If ur interested please let me know as I do get a good price on any German products - Used to own a Audi S3 before the Z

Would be happy to help out anyone who's interested

Cheers
Mike

Just wondering.

What Tyres did you use?
Is it Toyo or Goodyear?
