they have been spaced out 15mm so far, probably not any more at least at the moment, there isnt any clearance on the wings/arches (pictures don't show it). I could roll the arches but not sure yet. But im going to take some better pictures soon with camera

thanks for the comments, yea more is to come over next few months

Love that plate!

Im not sure of the brand, they were from eBay but I just was on the hunt for coil overs with the biggest drop and that was these at the time, i think they are great, no body roll, they are wound fully down and only negative thing is no adjustable damping but I wasn't going to pay an extra £400 for that

Any updates on this beauty?

update...

Last may I hit a speed bump at night that I didn't notice at about 20mph.

The engine mount snapped when the car landed

The subframe went through the oil sump


After spending a week in a car park I recovered it


Damaged the door and skirt getting it off the trailer



Then conveniently the bonnet jammed shut so demolition began to get it open

Pulling on it didn't work

Hitting it didn't work

Cutting it did work


And Open


It's just sat on the drive over the last year because I haven't decided if I want to fix it or not.
At last I feel like having it done.

I managed to obtain a new sump.
I now need to get a bonnet, probably a new bumper
MOT and I'll be back on the road

M bumper.... I'm getting a used one from a buddy for $50.
