my mudflaps scrape on everything now anyway lol. didnt have time to ring around today, on my to-do list tomorrow.

im going to try and find out what the bilstein kit springs lower by... if i can :?

ah from the photos in the gallery of my vt, clearance is never an issue unless you charge at speed bumps in which defeats the purpose of them :P . what shocks you going to run mark? i used bilstein coilovers on my vt not long ago until they one popped but they were old, but i loved the them!
Theres no school like the old school and im the f*cking headmaster!!
