Hi everyone,

Just trying to guage some opinions. I've just finished lowering the back of my SW after literally days of messing around. I've kept the standard shocks on for the time being due to the bushes on my ProSport shocks being incorrect entirely.

I aimed for a 40mm drop and actually thought I'd underestimated it, but it actually looks like it dropped by a lot more, which confuses and worries me a little.

Its on the standard steel wheels for the time being due to not having the cash for alloys and not wanting to waste tyres.

Does the car look alright, ignoring the practice window tint and the fact I havent done the front yet? And does anybody know what the standard ride height is for a 206 SW so I can compare?

Cheers

Mike

Once you have some alloys on it mate it shall look better and once you have the front bought down it won't look so bad

Thanks for the input.

I got started on the front and the passenger side is now fitted with the very cheap Prosport coilovers. However, I pulled the drive shaft out the gearbox like the newb that I am so now need gearbox oil...

On another note, the coilovers catch on the tyre. I know it's a known problem, so I'm going to have the helper springs off tomorrow.

Fingers crossed, pictures on Saturday morning if it's nice outside.
