Yea they just below the spring. They will probably fit better with the likes of coilovers but will need to roll the guards either way lol

What are you doing perrinsohc? That's nowhere near low enough... :wink:
Like the adjustable camber on the rears, very cool.
I might have missed it - who supplied the kit?

Hey mate haha, was pretty happy with result. That will just be the " for photos" height lol. The kit is from RXCORP. I was lucky enough to pick these up and get them shipped over to nz from the car that he was parting out. I'm looking forward to getting some nicer camber plates for the front, right now I've just installed them on the originals

Has a much better ride quality now. Still needs a bit of tweaking plus hours of figuring out what sort of spacing I will need for my new wheels. Anyone is chch got some 5 stud spaces they could help me out with? At the moment, im thinking 10-15mm in the front and 15-20 in the back. Still got plenty of room to play with in the back but nooot so much in the front. Will be rolling the guards properly though to help out

Hey mate, I'll see what I can do next time the car is out the the cover etc. Might be a while but will def look into it. Future mods, wellll so far I've mostly done restoring work as you can see in the previous pages. Nothing with the engine in the near future. Just ride quality and looks lol
