    Can someone lower my car for me?

    Hey guys,
    Finally have a date planned to get my car lowered.
    Unfortunately it's still 2 weeks away.

    As my patience is getting the better of me, just wondering if someone could show me what my car would look like lowered 30mm front and back

    and maybe 50mm front and 30mm back if you could be bothered as well.

    Cheers
    Tez

    best bet is to look up Hazrd's Astra, same body kit and lowered on DAP-R springs, will give you a good idea of height!!!

    Thanks guy!
    starting to get excited now.

    the front looks lower than the back. this must be 50mm front 30mm rear?

    btw, wrong place to be asking but is there a benefit to this other than looks?
    (lower front than rear)

    yeah i made that roughly 50/30 as i think it looks better than 30/30.

    i got the sportlines (50/30) in my G and it made a world of difference. I also put in KYB shocks as they are the only ones Greg from GSL would warrant me for that drop as there are no shorter shocks available.

    bodyroll is almost completely gone especially compared to the standard setup which helps a lot more in cornering.

    if u are going to go the DAP-R combo, then in that photoshop, the rear is sitting too high Click here to enlarge
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Can someone lower my car for me?

    Bit dirty but u get the idea

    The DAPs sit lower at the rear to make it look more even (sits too high at the rear when standard so it leans forward too much)
