I'm beyond caring about what it looks like now.
I drove to work in it yesterday with a hangover and that was the final nail in the coffin, i just want to be able to use it without major discomfort now.

welcome to the real world! never can understand why people lower the car more than a few mil It depends on the car and how it's done really. I've been in and owned more than a few cars that are lowered upwards of 60mm and still ride fine. My MX-5 was perfectly comfey having been dropped 90mm. It's no coincidence that they've all been cars with suitably stiffer than standard dampers to control the movement, and shortened shocks to allow more travel. My thoughts on it are that you can get a car to ride just fine down to about 60mm of ground clearance, but it does often take some effort. |

Yeah this really, if theyd bothered to use proper springs and shocks it'd be fine, same on any car, ive never liked the idea of chopping springs, seems like such a bodge. No offence to the person who did it of course, just my personal opinion. |

No offence taken!  If you are concerned with the ride, I must tell you that your issue is the fact that it is on the bump stops. If a longer cut spring was in there, it may not be so bad. Of course, you could always let me have it back! Got a nice sierra here you might like! |

Ah i knew you were on here somewhere!
Its got a rather large dent in the passenger door where someone crashed into it. So I'm not sure how much you'd want it! Other than that though, its not changed at all.
As for the sierra, i would love one, wether or not i could insure it is another matter, PM me details?

Like I said on PM, think the dent was there when I had it!
