You can't lower the strut height by twisting it though can you? If you want to go low thats what you need for relative comfort. SPESHAL v1 taught me that!

Was 400 something to put the group 4's in but they spent a fair bit of time cleaning up all the threads and making sure they were 100% before even bothering to put them in.

Then there is the time making sure all the heights are right and doing the wheel alignment properly.

400 bucks is pretty reasonable considering if you get it wrong you will chew tyres heaps faster and may even prang your car.

Do it right. Do it once.

I gather you have no concern for handling,
all you really care for is looks??

Hahah... This thread seems to be getting the same sort of response on all forums!

Have a chat to Paul (Bakks) if you want to go "LoW" but having been in Ramon's lib at the height its at with his setup, I could not live with it like that...
But... if there is a way of getting it at that height without the bumpstop issues, then I say go for it, if its your style!

From my own experience with "lowish" cars, I have not had issues with ride at all, but then, thats been in WRX's...

Good Luck!
