Apparently I don't know how to clean, so she took over and finished it off. I'm not complaining Did a ****in good job, better than I could anyway. Hehe.

Must say i was a skeptic about that bumper, especially since i like the SVR4 one as is, but that looks damm good.
Are the coilovers maxed out, or can you put it totally on the ground?

Thanks Me too. I took a gamble as I figured it would be hard to beat the SVR4 bumper, but in the end I'm happy. And it'll look even better once it's painted

Coilovers, front has 1cm of adjustment, back has about 4cm. Don't think I'd need to wind it down anymore to be honest LOL

No wanting to hijack, but its either that, or she has a pink top on under the white top.

Look how low it is The outside diameter of my new wheels, 215/35/18 are alot smaller than the old wheels 215/45/17 so it sits even lower than before!

ummm yea... bigger rims = smaller sidewall tyre size, to make the rolling circumfrence the same so your speedo isnt out... yes your car is lower but only 1cm lower so thats not that much really... if u have your old rims and tyres still sit them nxt to your new 1s you will see the they will be the same size if not VERY close.
put your tyre size's into this to see how much 'smaller' your new tyres really are..

Got some common tyre radiuses for VR-4's here:

205/55/16 315.95mm
225/50/16 315.70mm
215/45/17 312.64mm
225/45/17 317.14mm
235/45/17 321.64mm
215/35/18 303.85mm -3.82% compared to standard!
225/40/18 318.60mm
235/40/18 322.60mm

My personal favourite is 235/45/17 with 17x8" rims, but my car will have 255/40/17 (317.89mm) on it with 17x9.5" rims

And for people with 19's:

215/35/19 316.54mm
225/35/19 320.04mm
235/35/19 323.54mm

3.8% is not much really compared to standard... its 4km/h less than wot u are really driving at when u consider most ppl walk faster than that its not much of a difference at all

1cm lower is alot if the car is already less than 10cm off the ground...

[Munta]
