My point it only that there's more to handling and grip than making it low  Let the track do the talking sir I know your not having a go at me my friend.  ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

Still not enough to keep it off the stops at that ride height You want to be around 24-25mm bars really. You name the bumpy road and you can come chase my asthmatic old 1.4 down it if you like  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Mines pretty low on blisteins, but not 60mm. I love it and it handles well enough for me. Sorry not on cyclones though, to heavy Mine slighty lower at the front, somthing i cant stand is when the back sits lower, just looks like the beams broke. You see alot of it on 106s/saxos and it just looks terrible imo   |

It doesn't get driven properly How low would it have to be to sit 5cm off the floor?

You plank. It's never once been it a ditch. Also halfrauds don't stock A.P which you wouldnt have heard of because your a  with eibachs. Yours wollows and rolls where mine points and squirts. Better luck next time big boy  *edit* just think for all the money you have spent fixing yours you could have bought some good coilovers like mine your sig is also wrong it should be my gti6 handles like a golf ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

My car does more miles in 3 months than your baby does in a year!

I have covered 30k on my coilovers and my rear beam so what else can you possibly say? Also my b*tch is now on 101000k miles and still eats your lower mile engine So let's see yours loses in all areas even with your fancy flywheel.

I bet std ride height on all new suspension parts and a good rear beam out handles anything that has been messed about with ? IMO |
