Some more for you     Manta A Axle  1st coat of paint and in  Its normal ride height with 175/50/13 stretched on to 7x13s   and some other Low Kadetts:   Kind of what you were looking for  Be warned, My car is sitting on its bumpstops in the big rear wheel pics..... 15" wheels make it look lower as they fill the arches more, whatever you do with 13`s they always look a little lost in the arches to me.... The good news is, with coilovers in the turrets I can replicate that look if needed ;D Cut the springs or Bag it if you want it low and practical I am running a lot hader springs as well |

I likes em loooow .. No thats not standard Suspension, I said its the cars normal ride height compared to the super low pics.... You just need to play around with it.... I just kept cutting until it looked right My Front springs are somewhere over 400lbs/in rating though, with the standard fronts then chopped down and fitted to the rear I have turreted the back though so I can use coilovers and play around with spring rates too I like them low, but I like them to handle properly This could possibly go lower but it would be at the expense of Handling and performance which to me is not an acceptable trade off........ 200+hp so its buit to handle ;D If it happens to look good as well then thats a bonus The 15" wheels on it are with 175/70/15 tyres so with some lower profiles it would go lower still |

aah i see .. so coilovers and turrets might be the way to go.. like you say,i'll have a play around with it first . i'll see what the new springs do to it and i'll take it from there all good fun ;D |
