The Before and after

Measured, the back went down 5mm, and the front 30. It may settle more tho. They only went in today. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet, the front right Koni started leaking oil. Diagnosis on that currently underway.

Lemme know what you think. I'm very pleased with the stance!

The front came down quite nicely, too...the rear is not too low!

I'm guessing the front should settle more. Really odd that your koni is acting up. Probably best to warranty it.

Lower is always better! I like it with the drop, and love it for being an S70R w/ Coments.

Sweet ride!

Dragon : I haven't been able to drive it properly yet because of the bust Koni, but i'm getting the gas shocks back in today, then I'll be able to give it a good test. It seems reasonably smooth, so far i'm quite happy.

Johann : I wouldn't be pleased if the back went any lower. It sits perfectly imo, with the same gap between tyre and fender on the front and back.

Car needs to go for a good wash, and then i'll take some proper pics!
