Since you're not worried about the wheels scuffing you could fit spacers and that stance would look so low and wide!! I like. :D

Do you not think this is a little out of proportion ?

Oh and does running the car this low rip off the exhaust or any other parts, do the steering arms hit the inner front wing ?

mines down the same, front exhaust mount thing scrapes over tall sppedbumps other then that its all gd

I'm down 70/80 , streering arm rubs on drivers side, i bottomed out the cat protector bracket and i scrape every bump in milton keynes, Not very practical, and you get some strange looks.

looks like youve got dead bodies in the boot :lol:

is really low!!

need to raise it at the back to even it out abit i think :)

I do think its look a lil weird but at least its not the same as every other low polo lol :lol:

but i am looking to either

A: Get coilovers for the front.

B: raise the rear up about 10-20mm

as for rubbing i do get a lil from passanger side sorting that out this week tho

i did brake a rear exhaust rubber the other day but think thats down to it being old

does scape a little esp over the speed bumps near the exscape, and as i live near there go there

quite often so bit of a pain but wouldnt have it any other way :lol:

do get some funny looks also but thats when I'm not in the Gt :-D

Also who says i aint got dead bodys in the back (people shouldnt cut me up) :ninja::badgrin:

Tip for the bumps on the road next to the Xscape, Drive down the centre, people behind will prob get pissed off but save you scraping the fuck out of your exhaust, down job centre and rbs quite a lot so allway go down the middle of them..

Yea do that all the time, get ALOT of V-signs and people driving along side you shaking there head :lol:

Love it!!

i hate having to do that... but id rather do it than buy a new backbox every 2 miles. All the way to my 6th form are big horrible bumps. I once pulled over to let a massive double deck bus past me because i was slowing it down!

I like the look though! Low is good, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. I think the dead-body-in-the-boot look is good :-)

guessing thats an 80mm kit adjusted to make it lower?

am on a 70mm kit with cut springs so bout 90mm its damn low but dunt look nethin like that....

jus put a zorst on for mot n am gettin less than an inch clearance on the cat tooked up as far as pos!

in fairness my front end is lower than the rear though...

Only time will tell...
