any lower and it will be illegal here.
Looks good at that hight, not so low that you would attract attention.
Are your wheels 16" or 17"? Can't quite tell.

Here are some shots as promised:

the car passed the "mother in law to the airport" test

other thoughts:
car is more direct in the front end
the car is totally livable but it will bang now if you hit a large bump such as a pothole, but that is never nice anyway so I can deal with it. It is generally firmer, but not rough.

Looks good.
Whenever I do a mod I let the Mrs drive it and see if she complains ;-)
She's got quite good at picking when I've changed something.

What valving setup did Josh(MCA) give you with these?

I've been talking with Josh and when I order my Reds his going for track biased valving for me and if I find it too rough his more then happy to change it for me.

Just the same as the 6kg valving. Which makes sense.
It's very subjective but I wouldn't want mine any firmer than it is.

Why on earth would you think that? Just because MCA is an Australian manufacturer, based in Australia with an Australian website and Australian phone number the price is actually given in Taiwan New Dollar.

If that's the case, the blues will cost a whopping US$51 :P
