Think I'm down 65-70mm and I'd have to say handling has been improved a bit, less body roll etc driving normally, don't think I'd want to push it on a track though without coilies. No tyre-scrubbage on the front with my 15x7s and no apparent contact with the control-arms either. There is a thud from the front on some bumps, but I can't see any contact marks on the control arms, subframe or body, so I think this is the strut-inserts bottoming out and I could do with shortened ones. The problem is the sump scraping all the time - I'll have to put some alloy plate over it or it will wear through.<br>The rear I only did this weekend, earlier pics are photoshops and test shots with weights in the boot, but now with 2 coils cut it's sitting down and there doesn't seem to be any contact with the rear trailing-arms either, I think that happens when you flip the subframe mounts and I'd rather keep the neg-cam anyway. Again though, the diff. and exhaust are 1.5" off the ground.Scooby_Labhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582184435640111616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567772410717368743.post-21439064750036646522013-03-03T13:08:25.578-08:002013-03-03T13:08:25.578-08:00Hi mate, found your blog through my blogger stats ...Hi mate, found your blog through my blogger stats for links (www.e21build.com)<br><br>Looks like a decent drop, how did it end up handling on the road? Did you check lower control arm clearance to the subframe after lowering?Clinton Warburtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754922978631853758noreply@blogger.com
