My first mod was 15 inch cades eros wheels, i was really happy that day. Then came the k57i, gave it a little more grunt

after a while i became unsatisfied with the gap between the arches so bought myself a set of eibach lowering springs which tidied it it up a bit.

still in search of that perfect gap between the arch and tyre i reluctantly handed over a load of money for a set of bc v1 coilovers. I'm glad i did now  :)

Aparrently the rear is as low as it will go according to the guy at the garage but I'm not so sure as I've seen other jazz's lower. Arches need to be rolled as they rub during fast cornering.

Ive got a mugen spoiler on the way from japan at the mo so that will go on as soon as it arrives. Full custom exhaust will be next on the agenda, well after having arches rolled that is.

Hope you've liked the pics!

Your rear springs are upside down. The metal cup sits at the top, not the bottom.

Cheers tetsky, I thought so pneuma after seeing everyone else's pics. Will this cause much difference in handling? Need to get It back to the garage.

It shouldn't cause to much trouble, I just wouldn't leave it like that for too long.
