Looks ok, and I like the BBS wheels.
But in response to your question to Simon, have you driven one with correct wheel / suspension / geo? I bet you would be surprised!
I don't like this "Hellaflush" thing though

Wheels are Works not BBS but cheers

I have an e36 track car so not to fussed about tracking this but i'm sure i will at some point
Looks way too low IMO.
a 20-30mm drop usually looks nice, but looks as though your suspension is shot!
Not for me I am afraid, but then if there were all stock it would be boring.
Out of interest, how are speed humps in that? or indeed crossing painting white lines? you must get on well with your chiropractor....

Speedbumps are fine just take them at normal speed, the ride is great, still very comfortable. I'll happily take people out at a regional meet if anyone wants to see.
I'm not a fan of arch gap and 20-30mm has alot of that

Ditch the shopping list and chavvy stickers, fit the numberplate to the front properly and it will look really good.
I'm amazed that the roads up your way are good/free from speed humps enough to get away with being that low though. Kudos to you.

i quite like the look of this, I've lowered mine a little, not quite like yours. Speed bumps are now a pain in the ass but not really a 'problem'.
Although i must agree with many others, i really dont think it does the handling any good at all. It may give it the aggressive, mean look but its definately a yank thing, they may have the styling but havent a clue about going round corners. It alters the geometry way too much, might still feel like its good handling, but if you ever actually get the car to its limit i bet its way off a standard setup.

Works
All Function
None are chavy in terms of wolfrace, team dynamics, ripspeed etc, but i get what your saying and i'm not sure on them my self yet.
Front plate will be staying off, much smoother IMO

I understand the opinion low means it will be bone shaking and will handle terribly. With a double wishbone setup the suspension moves in an arc motion on the pivot points to the chassis, so you don't get the negative characteristics like you do with a Macpherson setup for example.
I clear speedbumps the same way i did at standard height and have never hit anything underneath at all or the splitter.
Anyone who was at silverstone this weekend will know you have to go under a very steep bridge which has a big angle at the top and where other cars were scraping i cleared fine.
I'd love to meet up with a few guys and take you out in it, the grip and direction change is fantastic compared to standard.
Looks good if you ask me 
If your not using the car for track then you might as well make it look good
I ran my car as low as that for 3+ years with no problems at all, some people just like to have something negative to say no matter what you do don't worry about it

this is one of the best known track cars in the US - Team Pacman S2000, it's possibly lower than mine and handles the curbs etc on tracks extremely well.
