Default Pics of my lowered Turbo

Hey dock, I`m a newby and did not check tire pressures which were 30 F and 32 Rears. You would think the dealer would have checked that. Anyway the ride HT with stock pressures is 25 1/2 in all around. How does the HT in the pics look?

Your height looks good to me. I'm sure you see some handling differences now too.

I run stock pressures with my Michelin PS Ribs.

Its definately lowered for a US car and slightly lower than my RoW stock so I say its probably Euro- X73 or at least is set for the same height...

If you don't mind the ride quality then you could keep the springs for now. The turbo sure looks good sitting low like this.

Thanks Khalid. Surprisingly it is not that harsh or rough on bumpy roads. Hey Dock are you running and engine plate on yours, as we are about the same height. I do have some scrape marks on the bottom of my muffler. And BTW is does handle better with the correct pressures, thanks Mike PS this car is totally intoxicating``I want to drive it all the time. and the power!!!!!! Why chip it????? I know I know>>>>>>>>>

Kiko, mikerosi's is lower than yours. I know, a friend of mine had H&R springs on his turbo. GBG's X73 probably is ROW height or lower, just a bit though.

I don't have any underside car protection...have never scrapped anything but the front lip...but I'm *real* careful about the approach angles when the slope is questionable.

I know what you mean about driving the car - I can't tell you how many times I'll been driving back to the house intending on parking the car for the day...only to blow right by my neighborhood realizing that "I just can't put it up yet...!!".
