You can buy lower front springs aswel I'm pretty sure!! Pics??
problem is i took the help springs out the front and with the strut and full compression the main spring had no compression so basically im was riding the bumpstop like hell ,,, so i put them back in :/ ,,, and as to laying frame ,, tbh i aint really bothered ,, its impractical anyways so why stop now ? ,, all you need is titanium plates underneath to protect everything and also make it spark like mad

well im not sure if you can. Never had to enquire on getting them so you would have to check into it. Pretty sure you dont want to be smashing your sump everytime you hit a stone though if you want it to sit soooo low. If you are after getting it to touch the floor just get it on hydraulics/bags so you can raise it when driving around and lower when park it up.

I have to admit it does look really smart the way it is! id leave it like that
its had changes since that picture ,,, i cut them stupid little slats on the bottom grill and left the main bar ,, tied it down in the center (looks like its smiling :/) but then wrapped it black an tbh it looks pretty awsome ,, and i got bored so got a roof box :L ,,,,,,,,,,,, i dont want it constantly scraping the floor but like instead of my splitter scraping on crap roads i want it banging and sparking :L

My thoughts exactley lol
Really dont understand the youth of today and im only 24, whats the point in having a car thats loud and slow and you cant drive it anywhere.

If you're wanting seriously mega-low, I'd advise removing the wheels.
Yeah ride on the discs! Proper low, sparks and no tyre bills! Pimpin'!
lol, you can drive properly lowered cars as long as you don't drive like a nob. Speed bumps ain't a problem if you take care with them
each to their own, I'd want my car slammed on coilovers but don't want to void warrenty

I havent got a problem with lowering cars, mine is lowerd. Im on about 'slammin'
I really don't understand the whole "lows" thing that's going about.
My mate has an e36 318 that is mega low and he has to seriously think about the route he is taking wherever he is going in case he grounds out.
Also, the whole camber on the rear wheels just makes it look like something is broken?
Alas, these are just my opinions so each to their own.

Yeah stance/slammed cars are what I'm talking about.

just thought id leave this here if you want it lower mate, speak to GAZ they are currently emailing me about custom coilovers for mine... so ill txt you the price when i get it.. its either that or bags im affraid.. + you will need to notch your chassis. ive had to do mine already as it was hitting...

Literally just get bags! Go up & down where & when u want! When parked up just drop it all the way and then you won't need to use your handbrake

I have never got this. Each to their own though.

Please don't fit a roof box to your car, it's beyond bent. Don't understand this whole "scene" thing going on and I'm 18, especially wanting it to spark, to me it seems like something a 6 year old kid who's fascinated by fire would do. From that picture earlier your car looks really good so just go back to how it was there and get rid of some of that camber on the back, it's a bit overkill. All just an opinion of course, you're free to do as you please.

Its just a massive "pull me over" to the police, mainly because its not MOT friendly, so then you get a VDRS form, and wjile you are there, they will f**k you for the pressed plates and HID bulbs in standard lamps you no doubt have also.

its got 5 doors! Just a note for everyone going uber low. It could all just be me but since mine has gone really low at the back the balance has gone. It feels really awful. I think these cars like a bit of rake.

You mean leaving them as designed for the road or make improvements to the performance for track use?
Yes, why don't more people spend money to make them perform worse on both road and track to the point of inconvenience!

If I do 30mph in mine and hit a pothole, it doesnt rip the chassis leg out, or take an even bigger chunk out of the road.
Plus, if broken is looking better, you must just LOVE visiting scrapyards
If I had the money I'd put my 197 on bags, or I could get it on coilovers and get it sitting nice. Form>function
i drive mine every single day and dont have any problems at all...
and yes, in actual fact i do love scrapyards... get all the bargains in there! dont quite see how my car looks broken? would you like to emphasize?

Because it looks like you have ZERO suspension travel, so either riding on broken springs, or a boot full of cement bags.
"Camberz FTW y0!" No...... again, it looks like the wheel bearings have collapsed.
"Pimps be lovin poke" No..... just looks like you bought the wrong offset wheels from gumtree
All of the above, in my opinion of course, look awful and RUIN the drive of the car. Everytime I see one of these goon types (all different makes and models), I just shake my head to myself
