Seriously low :shock:

The spoiler, I just can't get over the little 'tab' bits at the front sticking up so high.. Mine has like 10mm of clearance.

You've got the buuuug :P Are your meisters all the way down?? I'm worried that mine won't sit how it does now when I've got mine on..... Tapp's 4door was decked on them and I think he still had a bit to go, but my hatch might be different...? EEK.
P.s. How much will you want for the spoiler when you get your carbon one made m'love?? :)

S*!t..... I do not want to be cutting £600 coilies. I better contact Tapp!!

As for the EG camber arms fitting an EF, EF ones fit an ek! Haha!
Although....... I might even have my front set still? I never put them on the pos..... ?

Swappin/px sounds good to me!

He said they don't have the superlows on their website but he will ask about it when he speaks to them on Monday! Should be ok! To be fair I could handle it being a bit higher, for a better ride!
As for the front camber arms, I found them in my toolbox at work, but I think one of them has been modified, I'll get Brinn to have a look at them, if they're going to be useful to you, I'll let you know :)

But I spoke to B and Tapp about it this morning, the camber arms aren't modified, just taken apart, and I've got all the bits, they also will do what they're supposed to do on yours and pull the wheels back out :)
