Thanks to all who contributed to the other thread.

Been playing with wheels, a socket set, a 2 ton jack and a Olympus in night mode.

I'll post links rather than pics, as they're a bit big.

Things to note.
1) Shiny wheels.
2) Awful use of photoshops liquify tool.
3) The way that the street lamp and photoshops contrast control make things look different colours
4) The way the darkness hides the fact the car is dirty.
5) Other

If anyone wants full size pics for some reason, shout and I'll dig them out.

25mm on TRD springs. Any more I suspect would be great for looks, and crap for actual cross country pace.

In addition, the camera is on the floor, so you're going to get an interesting perspective.

Not been exploring the outer limits of grip until the tyres are worn in, but there seems to be a lot more grip there (this might be because my old tyres were dead). Turn in is good. She seems to jiggle a little more over uneaven surfaces at low speeds than before, but it's not terrible.

It'll take a 'spirited' run down one of my favorite routes to determine if cross country pace has been compromised. I'm hopeful it won't be.

Nice.

Front bumper and ground? Depends how hard I'm braking.

It's not hugely low. It is a fast road car after all, not a show car.
