Default Chav or not chav?......that is the question!

Well..........the eyelids have gone (not great quality, flaking paint etc) so my chavometer rating must have dropped a few points!.

However, just had my Eibach Pro springs installed!. Car has dropped a bit.......just enough IMHO. Did not want a huge drop but think it now looks really good, especially with 18" wheels on!.

What do you think?. Here are some before and after shots!.

Before:




After:

Actually took them in a little car park at Chobham Common in Surrey!. Thought it looked quite tropical in the piccies but in reality is just a car park near the M3!. Sunny day and some Zaino helped as well!.

NOTICEABLE impact on ride........much harder!. Could feel the bumps before but you really notice them all now!. Car does feel more planted. However, have not really had chance to take it out for energetic drive yet to see how it feels under pressure!. Also.......am just waiting for springs to drop all the way before I get revised geometry settings applied.........this may affect handling once more.
