Hey guys, thanks, im glad u like her..and the fact that she's sO loW! lol. 
Its kinda become a little bit of an obsession over the past couple of years (as im some of u can relate).
How i did it? Well it started with the shortcut, you kno, pulling 2 blades! hahaha
i was hooked!
Two blades turned to three and so it went until (to cut a long story) i snapped my ball-joints clean off,
this was bcoz of the strain they wer put under.
Therafter i dcicded to try n do it correctly by firstly purchasing a set of 80mm dropped spindles,
a pair of b.j. camber adjusters (to compesate for the b.j.'s new angled position), a set of lenghthened
b.j.'s for the same purpose and ofcourse i had to remove the beam to fit the two beam adjusters just
for good measure!
As for rear, all it needed was one notch down on the spring plate each side.
All of this coupled with a good set of low profile tyres (185/60/15 in the rear and 175/50/15 up front
donated from a smart car) gave me the "lower than a python's poenani" stance that i was looking for!
Since then iv come to realise that things like stones, cat-eye-reflectors, cigarett boxes and pretty much anything higher than a matchbox needs skillfully avoided,lol.
With this setup the drive quality is superd and u constantly have to remind urself ur driving a car thats been dropped about 190mm!!!
Next step AIR RIDE!!!
