got my coilovers on at long last. 4" drop with the standard shocks. they are almost fully compressed but feck it if they go, they go.
  I'm also thinking of changing the alloys. they are 17" at the moment but dont seem to suit the car. I was quoted $350 to change them and keep my own tyres for these. So do I change em or keep the cash for something else. (ICE most likely at the moment)

looks great. The drop looks like about 1.75 to 2 inches to me.

if you just installed them, it will take a while for them to settle. It looks like only a 2"-3" drop now, but i bet they will go lower in time. Looks great though!

Some coilovers are advertised as having the ability to adjust your car from 0-4" of height. This doesn't mean that zero is at stock height. Try raising your coilovers all the way up, and I bet the car will sit higher than stock. What kind of coilovers are they?
Regardless, the car looks good. I'd definitely keep your current wheels though.

my car is about that height right now and still have an inch left on the coilovers. I'd say about 2 - 2.5" inches down, especially in the back
btw I really like your current rims. I think you should keep them |

this really highlights the difference between US & Euro tastes. Nearly everyone I know in the US picks the ones that are fitted and all the UK/Irish guys pick the other ones.
I'm going to get them to put one of them one to see what they are like side by side. thanks for all the comments guys. -------------------- arospeeds suck ass!!!

I prefer the current rims. If you can find a cheap way to ship them to canada, I'll take them off of you. What kind are they?
