Dropped the car as low as possible, arches aren't rubbing, but you can't get your finger in, so there's literally no gab, lol. The torsion bars are sitting on something, goes to show how low it really is.. Going to be putting 15" steelies on after christmas while I refurb my wheels... 4mph on 17's, god help me when I put them on, haha:)

Gonna keep an eye on this, I see you posting about creaking rear axle soon.
I don't see the point personally about having a car you cant drive, without care.

Sorry, missed out on this post! Yeah, I know it's not low in the sense of distance from the ground, but it's low in the form of there's not much to do to make it go further down, well, at least without camber. The cars a project, being slowly done over time as it's my daily driver too, longest I want it off road is a few hours a week. I'm planning on putting a small amount of camber on the front and rear, but I don't want it OTT as I have to tackle some meaty bumps, I don't mind a scrape, but I'd like to be able to get over them:)

I always drive my car with care, while it was standard, and now while its low. There are little things that are a pain now, yeah, but I prefer the car like this:) now, about the creaking axle, let's count the days, maybe even take a bet on how long? closest to the date buys the other person a drink? lol

You do realise camber on a 206 is stupidly hard/expensive to do?

why a yellow one? or why a ZR overall? I'd only want it for a bit of a mess about on local tracks as I spend a lot of time there:) cheap cars and easy to tune up
