My plans are, lower the front of the car more for more tuck and also get some slightly stretched tyres. Mine are already a bit stretched but im looking a bit more.

Also, bought a splitter the other day for the car. With it on the front of the car sits 1cm of the ground if even. pushes lighters etc.

All good fun
Any pics with the splitter? Love the stance/car btw, I didn't mean to take away from it in any way. All in good fun.

Nice sig pic btw

Look what Cross can do for you



I always wanted to do this with Kelli's, but I was too lazy to do the work. Thanks Danny for showing how low these can go.

17" rims, tires I don't know? Cross can do that without affecting spring compression and damping. Height is adjusted independently.



The car will not drive like this. It was done just to see how low they would go.
