ZZZZING!! Matt's on fire!^^ And I'm too slow...

"some short 50ish old guy that he worked on the car" <- That's BOB, he owns Wheels World lol.....

It's lowered to the sweet spot.....so it goes around corners.

Your a mechanic.......you lower more if you want.

Haha @ making a fuss about handling - 95% of us are never going to use the car in a manner where 10mm of ride height will change our worlds - so it may as well look good.

You don't need to be a mechanic to lower the car with coilovers... Just do it yourself...

As long as you measure each drop and make them the same you should be right to drop it... Will probably affect the camber etc

320mm is below the "optimum" height for a GC8, so Wheels World wouldn;t have wanted to go any further without negatively affecting the cars handling.

That said, bring it round one day (by yourself, none of your gay mates) and we can slam it some more.

You dont need to tell me this



I was just trying to give ajayjayjayjayjay an explanation as to why WW may not have lowered his car as much as he wanted.

Something like this is what I was after.. Yes wheels world did do a good job but when it comes to customer satisfaction.. Wouldn't rate highly, a simple phone call would of been ok to give my approval...even John said himself in my face yes that will be fine...

And I don't think in the near future I'd be wanting to throw my car around a corner, handbrake up, smoke everywhere... Simpley don't have the balls to wanna break something... So I guess looks at the moment for me is my cup of tea...
