Some harsh comments! I usually don't like seeing them on non-nissan car's (they are a copy of Nismo LMGT4s) but I thought they looked quite good Once dropped it'll look pretty damn fine. Is it a lot less comfy now with 18s though?

LOL, just done a search and seen some pictures of his car, truely is slammed!

That's too low for me in terms of being a practical daily driver, I need to be able to get up car park ramps and over speed bumps etc

It does look good though Tommy
I'm not a massive fan of OEM wheels but I think yours looked amazing. It was the anthracite on the Moonrock.
Regarding lowering, I don't have any issues at all about getting over speed humps. As long as you don't drive stupidly over them you will be absolutely fine. Obviously coilovers are stiffer than springs and I'd honestly suggest getting coilovers and paying a bit more.
Now you have the modding bug keep the mods coming!
P.s... Moonrock is the best colour!

Can't really tell the difference to be honest, I'm sure the ride will be harsher when the springs are on though

Slam it super low, do the 18's bronze, get a BBK and keep it looking smooth and clean with a HT and it will look great.

That will only cost about £3000.

A car can be pretty low and still be practical... the only major issues are the speed bumps if they are the smaller square ones unless they are far apart...

Then the little thin ones are a bit more of an annoyance, but dont tend to be too high, apart from that with a set of stiff springs etc you'll get quite a lot of places!!


my luck is always meeting a girl, going to pick her up and her house is at the other end of a speed bumped road just mocking me...

I like them, took a few looks though at first I didn't think they suited the lines of the car. As mentioned will look much better with a drop. 30mm would look fine I think, lower would be better though

I was seeing this girl and every time I went to pick her up i'd scuff the lip on my boxster. The sound was awful.

She could see the annoyance/pain on my face but still wasn't willing to meet me round the corner, out of her speed-bump-riddled-hell-hole.

absolutely quality comment there mate, ROFL

they just don't understand do they, first time I curbed the alloys on my TT, I was in a hurrendous mood for a full day, and the missus just couldn't get her head around it.

Bit off topic but in your first photos, does the price tag say £11k? Thats kinda cheap for a 56 plate S2000...
