You haven't seen the passenger front mate, kerbed to hell (previous owner ofc.). My exhaust is a custom s/s from CCR who supply Hillpower.

Camber is the angle of the wheels to the road. So most cars are set at a right angle to the floor. I want mine set to -1 degree negative, which will improve handling and turn-in, but also increases tyre wear.
Cheers for the comments, back is lowest it will formally go, although i could drop it some more. However it's still settling so for now ill leave it.

awesome matey! dont dare change they wheels! even for turinis!
A Euro'd one...
That is looking lovely mate. They should all come out the factory like that.
No more clio's for me!
Looks great, the 172's looks soo much better lowered. 
How much is the drop?

Ride, well tonight i'll be able to give a better opinion, as today i've just had it laser aligned and the camber set. In truth I haven't ragged it yet, as i didn't want to screw my tyres up anymore than i had to. Also need to get the front off again and sort out the front, either by further cutting away the offending pieces of arch liner, or by raising the front up another 10mm.
Reason being, currently when i go over a bump at reasonable pace, and i happen to be cornering i get front rubbing a little, also struggling to get on and off my girlfriends drive so could do with a little more clearance.
They will go lower, the back will lower another 10-15mm, and the fronts are currently half way on the threading - basically you could have the front bumper on the ground if you so wished, but without taking out the arch liners completely you'll struggle with any lower than i have now, already cut a chunk of it away.
Initial thoughts on the handling are superb, currently got the shocks set to 50% firmness, ride is very good, very little roll, and still comfortable - compared to my Koni's/Springs setup.
