Anyway I'm fitting mine tomorrow whilst the air box is off and before the blower goes on! (easier access from the top!)

1" drop = 8mm spacer. You've already posted that you'll grind your 12mm spacer down if you need to. I think I'm going to get the front and rear anti bump steer kits this week

Mine and PJL's are 12mm IIRC I'm aiming for 1.5" drop and have just exchanged my Nitron sports for Tracks to help!

Can you stop tempting me with stuff now please.

I haven't gone that low with mine as yet as I was a bit concerned about the bump steer issues.

35-40mm is too low for normal driving in my experience. nightmare on speed bumps, potted roads etc. I've just emailed re the steering rack spacers myself Also looking to buy the megan rear anti bumpsteer kit

I suspect Peter and I both have a 25mm drop Nigel. That's from the accurate data points of the wheel arches to the ground From memory, a stock 03 I measured was 770mm and we are 745mm.
I'd check that ride height if I were you, the stock ride height is 670mm front and 675mm rear, that

Those could have easily been the numbers Nigel. 670mm dropped to 645mm. However, the 03 I measured had the same measurements, front and back. Also the case on a couple of S2000s I measured at the local dealership. This was the thing that threw me originally (and the reason for the front being so low in the photos I post of my polished car when I first had the Nitrons on) - I could only remember the OEM rear height and told Nitron to drop the front 30mm (using the wheelarches as data points) to keep the 30mm stagger....

I'm going to look for not more than a 10mm spacer for the steering rack
