lowered yes, but check out those rims hiding under the arches there! could be a weee bit wider, especially on the rears, then you're getting somehwere!
The one quoted just a few minutes ago..the wheels are bending at quite an angle
The wheels are straight
When you lower a car that uses semi-trailing arm suspension, it effects the amount of camber which the wheels experience; the lower, the more negative camber. Call it a quirk of the suspension design.
It also has the added benefit of tucking the tops of the wheels inside the arch, meaning you can go lower without hitting anything.
The big silver saloon quoted is actually on air ride meaning that the suspension can be adjusted to any point between the two extremes (the 'before' and 'after' shots
) at any time with just flick of a switch.*n

My bad, I didn't know it was trailing arm.
Penski: A guy I work with has a Mk2 Cortina estate, he calls it 'the corn dog', for reasons I've yet to fathom. It's great, just the sort of thing you'd like, bit of rust here and there but basically sound, is on 1600E wheels and gets driven and abused daily.
I've told him about RR but he's only just recently started using t'internet and the concept of a forum is a bit alien to him at the moment, bless him

is that christians(?) with hydraulic suspension?
It's on air. Bloke called tigran on RR bought it a wee while back..
Are you thinking of Christoff? Made the V8 coffee table and used to have a blue SEC on juice (built in 2 days and used as a wedding car...)?
Now building a silver SEL with new hydraulic kit. There's a great build thread in Readers Rides on RR.
