Well my toy has arrived today, and it's made it feel like xmas all over again today especially with this snow lol. Well i've finally got the new suspension kit today and it's gettin fitted at 3pm tomorrow, so expect "finished product" pic's over the weekend.

Here's a couple of pic's of it before it goes on the car.












I love the speckled effect powder coating the springs have.

Iam looking for a new suspension kit, if you dont mind what did yours cost and how much does it lower the cally by [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Rob

Right for starters you have to rememebr that the V6 and Turbo models leave the factory on 20mm lower springs than the 8v-16v. The kit is a 35mm drop on very stiff springs. So the drop will be another 15mm. Whole kit cost £280 inc VAT and P+P from Courtenay Sport.

Wil post a couple of pic's over the weekend so you can get an idea of what it looks like.

Oh my god I'm driving a different car lol!!!

Even though it's only a further 15mm drop on what it already is, with the Bilstein shocks and stiffer springs makes the ride almost perfect. Just gotta get the new engine mounts fitted now to stop the last bit of rockin the car has (even though it's very slight). A nice set of strut braces wouldn't go a miss if I could find somewhere that does them for the V6.
Will get some pic's up tomorrow when i've had a chance to wash all the dirty remains of the snoww off the car.:icon_mrgr

Right then guys, got some piccy's together:) Like I said, the ride is amazing. I'm so glad I went for the drop that I did, but just ordering stiffer springs rather than slamming it and having to get everything adjusted or even having to role the arches.












I reckon on the styling side of things, that it has filled the arches perfectly now. Would recommend this setup to anyone. Let me know what you think guys (positive or negative, I can take it lol:icon_mrgr )

looks sweet mate, always liked green calibras myself (probably why I own one!) and those arches do look very nicely filled :thumb:

Looks good, not to low to rip things off
