Took a bit of persuading, but finally all done and dusted.. and lets just say it was a bit more than 40mm... :lol: quite a BIT more!!
before pics....   after...       If anyone is looking to lower a vert, just know the rear struts are NOT accessible from the boot/trunk!! If you lift the undercarriage to the roof compartment you'll find them hiding under there. The anti-roll bar links were a pain in the a$$ but finally got there!!

Those are some big wheels! Not a huge fan of neons, but overall a much better look than the stock ride height. What springs did you use, and how do you like the ride?

Don't know the make of the springs, they came off an ST202 from a member of another forum. Just haven't had the guts to fit them for the last year!! .. and been getting a hard time cos of it.
The wheels are 18" Evo Crystal 3's.. very heavy, but car felt like it was on stilts after putting them on and I didn't like the handling.. now however, is a different story.. back to feeling like it's on rails. Ride is a lot harder, but not uncomfortable, just gotta be careful with the usual speedbumps (that are EVERYWHERE over here!) putting up a couple of pics of when I first got her. Had her about a year and a half. Changed the exhaust, the wheels, fitted spoiler from a gen 7 after struggling to find one that fit the vert, added the led's and the likwid art.. more likwid art to follow. Next on the agenda is some elbow grease under the bonnet!! day I bought her...  first mods.. wheels and exhaust (yeh.. and the leds! lol)      then the spoiler and likwid art
