I think I looks way better coz it was sitting wayyy too high
I'm hoping it'll drop another half inch cos I reckon that'll set it off?

And my exhaust is Now ####ed
Center muffler baffles come loose and sounds terrible
So keen to pik up the new one haha.

I'm really worried about the whole pollution thing..
Cos it's efi but there's no cat or nothing..?

Not sure where all this "springs will sag" idea comes from? Springs dont sag or at least good ones dont! And certainly not 1/2" or more.
Lowered springs are generally stiffer in rate so are less likely to sag. The only time I have ever heard of springs sagging is when people heat them to lower them, (while they are still in the car), and obviously they cant re-temper them.
If your new springs do sag, you want to take em back and get another brand, because they will most likely continue to sag.

the idea comes from king-springs... the guys who designed and manufactured them

i dont recall hearing anyone saying "sag" i said "settle" which is a different word with a different meaning.

the springs will never sit exactly in their correct spot straight away. it needs to have lots of weight on it and go over a few bumps so the spring can move around to its lowest point. and yeah the springs do 'sag' a little too.

but yeah, jonno, thats about as low as its gonna get. any lower and itll be a pain in the arse. mine has the exact same springs and couldnt be happier.

tough question really. personally, exhausts have always been modification numero uno for me. but you will probably want to check legalities first (driving on your p's) maybe get them fitted, but ask the shop to install in such a way so that they can easily be replaced with your stock manifold, (i.e. put two bolt flanges on both manifolds) in case of canarys. and make sure you get the stockie back. exhaust places are notorious for keeping stuff.

but yeah, i would 100% get a set of extractors. they just make everything else work better.
