So my parts started to arrive. Like a kid on Christmas I was!

And got my Skunk2 MegaPower and K&N FIPK fitted. Loving the angled tail pipes and the sound is unreal! Absolutely love it!

Coilovers, driveshaft spacers, rack spacers and control arms fitted.

Although I felt the rear was sitting too low and had it raised by 5mm today.

Now sitting like this...

Needs a good clean and some tyre shine.

Then wait for the hardtop to arrive, order a duckbill spoiler and paint the wheels.

Also ordered an oem front lip which is currently in transit
Shouldn't be too long now hopefully!

Absolutely love this car!

I may be a grumpy old man, but to me that looks too low, is it just another ultra low S2 with a big exhaust ? nice clean car though

Looks a bit low. That lip will be at risk

Glad you're enjoying

Thanks bud. No idea tbh. I'd guess 45-50mm. Yup the smallest speed bumps kill me never mind the big ones. Big Dips in the road can also mean it catches slightly.
Steep inclines also a slight issue. Slow and at angles is the key.
I can still stiffen the front to prevent the bounce on larger dips which I'll likely do as the older fender clips which are starting to sag are getting ripped out ATM. Replaced a few already. Need a few more lol.

I appreciate the height won't be to everyone's taste but that's what makes us all different and that's a good thing. Thanks for your thoughts
