Meister's are fitted. My car is now low and l love it.

I fitted them a few weeks ago, however I was testing some different springs for Jerrick on the rear coilover and that didnt go to plan. The springs didnt settle and on the lowest setting, they were higher than stock

Before - Using test springs


My rear way too high on lowest setting. by tweedbean, on Flickr

But dont worry its all sorted now.

After - New springs

Thanks to Jerrick, who sent me out new springs next day delivery and I swapped them around yesterday and wow what a difference. A lot of people having been telling me for months to get it low, so here it is:

Front and rear tyres tucked

The car can go lower aswell, I have followed Jerricks instructions to put zero preload however if I add more preload it can come down a few more centimeters but im happy with the way it looks and drives at the moment. .

I've suffered my first bit of damage due to my new lows Kerbs and lows dont mix. Unfortunately the car has to be parked on the kerb overnight and I have no other option, so I went a bit too straight onto the kerb and caught the bumper. Oh well its worth it as it looks ace. I've sanded it all down, now I just need to pop that bit of plastic back in, repair, filler and paint, should be done asap.
