just filled it up and the back sagged nicely over the rear wheel.. gotta love the sag..
one thing ive noticed though is bumps are a hell of alot louder and harder.. probably due to the 17s and the lowness, im guessing the shocks will have to wear in too though right? |

Shocks will wear in. 17s have better handling then 15s so you got minor improvement there.
But car looks good dude, very impressive! |

I get the same BANG too with lows.
I put it down to the swaybar, cause I did the links up a bit too tight. It's definately not the car bottoming out. Have a look under and see if the rubbers on the swaybar link are deformed.

just noticed today, the left hand rear sits about an inch higher than the right hand rear.. could this be that the spring has popped outta place? being as i have a steep driveway?? or could it mean one of the rubbers are f**k where the spring sits?

possible spring popped out , are the shocks standard length or short as this will not allow the springs to pop out. as for feeling like the shocks bottoming out it is possible if they are standard length but also having a 45 series tyre on a 17 inch rim will also give a very hard ride as the lower profile doesn't act like a cousion like a 65 series tyre on a 15 inch rim will.
