It already looks lowered, I wouldn't lower it any more personally.

Looks well sweet Mr2z, as for lower, you can always go lower lol :eye:
You could proberly go 15/20mm lower :oldtongue: you'd need coilovers though.
Anyhoo, great looking car buddy :mrgreen:

Very interesting colour scheme. Looks different, in a good way.

Car looks fine as it is though. I lowered mine 35mm and ended up with loads of problems. Depends on the ET of your wheels too. I found with ET35 wheels and 35mm drop Apex springs that it rubbed on the arches quite a lot over some bumps. That was on standard N/A dampers though. Black billies and standard springs are the way to go.

Black Billies = Black Bilstein shock absorbers.

I believe they are found on Rev 2+ turbo's or possibly some NA imports, but I know someone will correct me if I have this wrong :lol:

What Matt said. Found they stiffened up my MR2 and soaked up the bumps better. Slightly more harsh ride but not overly so. Just a slightly better aid to handling than the standard N/A shockers.
