I really want to lower my car but I'm really worried about seized alignment bolts, I have absolutely no issue with fitting lowering springs myself but don't fancy getting into grinding alignment bolts off under the car on my drive so would appreciate someone having a look how bad it all is before making a start as car drives pretty well at the moment.
I'm guessing that's a no then?

Sounds good to me, didn't want to just turn up hence the post.

Went ahead and ordered springs anyway as I'm impatient. Will nip over tomorrow then. What sort of time do you start?

Another great day at Daytona. Very busy day with servicing a new members car, checking geo bolts, car wrapping and building a custom intake.

Love the new intake box, just some sanding and painting to finish it off. Way better than the K&N for fitment.

Cheers to everyone and a big thanks to Ray.
