in the best colour too that 19 Smile

looks like u got a bit of rust sneaking in on the rear arches down by the side skirt, best get that sorted quick before it ends up like my old hatch

does not look too bad does it . . but it had spread under the car to the rear beam mounting points, an MOT failure due to the structure being weakened and a Â£500 repair bill !!

speed bumps.

up here we have mountains for speed bumps and standard height cars are belted on bumps and car parks

also when its that low it doesn't handle or ride nice

whoever had it before me had just lowered it
and used old koni dampers on the back!

so when i replaced them it was too low for normal konis they had to be extra low, meaning i had to sell a kidney to buy them!!

it rubbed bad with 15s

I find my 19 handles better lowered than on standard ride height, but it is only lowered 35mm, on 17" rims and has nice sticky toyos as well.
I've had the car at standard ride height and with standard alloys on it and found it would oversteer if i went too quick into the twisty bits, but on its current set up, it goes round corners like its on rails.
Comfort has been reduced a tad thou as well, i can feel every pothole on the current suspension setup.

yea i do have trouble with speed bumps.
handles alot better than standard on nice smooth roads but back lanes its doesn't,
all so i notice in the wet its like a duck on ice.
i donâ€™t have any problems with rubbing even with 3 inthe back
