Since picking up the teg, the right height as always bugged me a little, with the car being slightly higher at the front than it was at the back, you can sort of see what I mean in this pic:

It looked really noticable IRL, and the wider track of the front wheels (which are on spacers to clear the brakes) made it that much more obvious. So I decided to level it all out, and get it a little lower in the process. I dropped the rear another 10mm, and the front ~20mm, and it's made all the diffrence in the stance (apologies for the pic quality):

As you can see, the gap between the wheel and arch is the same all round now, and the stance is much better for it.

I also fitted a Whiteline adjustible rear ARB (same as I had on the SiR) and had the wheels laser aligned. The alignment was way out, and the car handles fantastically now, literally like a go-cart but with lovely progressive lift-off oversteer :D

If I'm honest it's a bit stiff for B-road blasting, but it's going to be incredible on track :cool:

Are your side window tints legal? :confused: They look sooooo dark!

I would paint your rear calipers as well just to finish the look ;)
 
Looks too low to me. I think it's because the gaps either side of the wheels are far bigger than the gaps (or lack of) above the wheels.

They probably aren't but I haven't been pulled for them as yet and it's been through an MOT with them. Tints like that wouldn't have been my choice if I'm honest, but they were already on the car and they do look pretty good IRL.

Looks too low to me.

I appreciate it'll be too low for some tastes, but I love the look :cool:

/awaits Penski's 'When are you going to lower it then?' comment :D
 
Still the same, I'll be getting it re-laquered soon. It's just looks good in the pics because it's wet ;)
 
Agreed, Spot on mate :)

My mate has a white teg like yours, his is slammed with standard white alloys on. Looks great.
