    Get a pic of em up now, they wont settle that much, my springs settled like 1-2mm lower after a month.

    I wouldnt mind seeing how low she is.

    Hey love the car looks tuff, i love the VP calais, was going to but one but didn't have the $$$ i just got an s-pac.
    Once you chuck in you new shocks you'll find that it will drop a bit more... also ride alot better too.
    Can't wait to see the new pics.

    cheers mate
    ye im hoping she'll still drop abit, not overlly happy with the so called "ultras" i mean its a nice hieght but i wanted tha ass scarpin, and i doubt a week of settling in and shocks will drop that much more off it, shoulda jus go my FE2 springs re-coil'd

    ok i've purchased a VP SS front lower skirt after years of looking for one, jus waitin by my mail-box for delivery :P also waitin on my SV3800 tune memcal

    but with the front skirt, i have 2 strip tha paint, prep it, plastic prime it, n paint it. but with installing it, wats tha best bet? adhesive with sum screws? im just worried if i use screws they'll end up poking out tha front of it, as i assume theres only very little 'meat' in tha bar for it 2 grip 2??

    lip came 2dai started stripping it, but i must admit the paint stripper isnt as strong as i thought, theres 2 layers of paint and the grey primer that im trying to get off, but tha second layer (i assume thats tha factory paint) is being a bitch, have to wait till nxt week before i can get stuck into it again, i jus want it on :P

    ok heres sum pics with tha new springs, 1st pic is from like tha dai they were installed, but tha otha two were from last night, and tha last is of me and joey_18, once i get tha lip on i will go out and do a whole new photo shoot, i still needa get shortened shocks, most likely vs ones so there nice n short, and hopefully she'll drop a tad more
    but considering there tha lowest springs avail. it doesnt tuck under tha gaurd that much.....

    told ya they werent that low, very dissapointed, but wen u stand at tha boot it feels pretty low, but still, and id rather have tha rear dippin' than jaked higher than tha front

    fnlow1, lol i wish i could go lower, but ive spent 2much money lately on ****, how much u reakon it would cost 2 get my FE2 rear springs reset to 'dumped' ?? then i may think bout swapping em.
