well i got it done, the springs need to settle a bit so it will go down a bit more, very happy with the work that WEB did, it is so much more comfortable driving now than before with stuffed shocks although the springs are hard. when the old man took me there to pick my car up i sware he had seen a ghost by his facial expression in his words "the things to ИИИИИИin low you'll get defected" but hes a bit better bout it now and he thinks it looks better. anyway here is a pic.
in person it looks heaps lower than what it does here

I think that car would look mad as on some 17/18" deep chrome. But I am partial to chrome and I love your colour ;)

Very very nice! The height is perfect, I wouldn't touch it at all. Your car looks awesome as it is - even with those 15s!!! EL GTs would spoil you car IMO, but a classy set of 18s would look tight.

AU IIs would suit it - they're so close to the original design - too bad they're common on E-Series now. The AU I XRs would also look sweet.
