Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2010 6:55 pm Post subject: How low?
Don't know where to post this but was woundering if we could compose a list of how low certain suspention set ups make Aristos
Mine looks to have some kind of generic shocks and lowering springs, 310mm from wheel center to the top of the gaurd.
What does everyone else have?

brand new TIEN super street coilovers mate....
unfortunately when you have a big set up under the bonnet, you cant be rolling around showing it off.
plus 3.5" pipe underneath is fkn hard to tuck up. _________________

ground clearance measurements on coilies is a bit redundant isnt it?

Fitment is still important though!
