Hi guys
Thanks for the replies. I am in Singapore, where there are no race tracks, no windy mountain roads, and no bumpy roads. What we have is traffic jams, loads of speed cam and hidden cam, traffic lights, and road monitoring cams. So since the car is going to be posing for so many cams, I think the priority would be to look good since I cant go good anyway.
So for the issue of oil pan and front lip, actually my plan is to fit up slightly oversized tires, 215/45R17, thus the car would be sitting even taller. Would be good to have a set of lowering springs to bring the height down a little, to slightly lower than stock. My plans is to go for a little "stance" look but not the dumb type of stance. The car will only be driven very occasionally (once a month?) to attend meetups and to be a display car for shows. So my intent is to build a show car (at least looking good from the outside that is)
I drove the car yesterday at 3am for a "spirited" drive and totally lost confidence with the suspension. its too soft, rolls so much, squats and dips as much too. a far cry from my other cars in handling department. I suspect non original springs were used (I could fit my fist between the wheel arch and tires). So its a definite call for change. I heard SJS offers a 20% uprated springs, any idea if they have any lowering effect for the car?
Thanks
