Mine mate, it's a bit lower now but this was a few months back:

Yea, that looks smart.
Is that just on springs? If so which ones?

Apex bud, ride is a bit hard but stance is good. I

Just ordered apex 40mm off eBay so we should be looking pretty similar!!
Just need to sort out the tin of beans (exhaust) on the back and then I'll be cooking!

Apex springs are the worst thing I have ever bought in my life. Don't fit them.

 

[richardnock1986]

Why??

Ride is shocking, roll is awful, makes the car skittish - oh and they snap! Yay!

The drop is good for the money, but makes the car much less driveable IMO - unless you just cruze to mcdonalds.

^^ there are some big speed bumps at mcdonalds these days!! Ha...grew out of that stage a few years ago now.

There not that bad i have Apex springs on mine - Look good, ride is crashy on the road, handling wise proberly a very slight improvement over the standard setup but never snapped a spring in my life.

Previously i have had Eibach sportlines and coilovers (Different cars) both where far better than the apex springs

If you are not going coilovers then I'd be buying Eibach Sportlines.
