Perfect high. Just low enough but not silly arch rubbing nonsense  :signLOL:

Will drive the car some more before I pass comment but so far it feels great, much more grip and feels more stable.

Nice pic Rich. Still doing it justice  :happy2:

Rear height does look good. I'm bored of catching my undertrays on speed bumps now  :indifferent:

I never had any problems with speed bumps or multi-storey car parks with H&R's. my shock absorbers didn't like them though  :sad1:

Maybe its just my eyes but it looks to be running about a foot higher on the passenger side.  :star:
