Ok guys, cut 1 coil off the springs and this is what happened. It seems to have lowered 2 inches because the front gap is zero. I replaced the upper control arms and threw the springs in there and it rides very well. It does not seem to affect anything in terms of ride comfort, it is not bouncy at all. I am going to lower the back sometime soon. so here is what it looks like now.

By front gap is zero, do you mean looking side-on at the front wheel there is no gap visible between the tyre and the lip of the wheel arch of the fender at the topmost point?

I'm asking because I was about to clip 1/2 a coil off the standard front springs but it looks more like 1 coil is the go...

What size tyres are you using so I can compare the relative tyre heights and circumferences of yours and the ones I am intending to run.

Thanks heaps,

Ian.

Yes, I meant that from the side on there is no wheel gap visible from the arch of the fender to the wheel. If you clip off a  coil this should give you this result. I am running 225/40 16 i believe. Let me Double check that tomorrow. I need to lower the rear now as it has that strange pouncing look to it.

Wish I had 16" pentas. 8)

The car looks tops 500.   That pouncing look isn't too obvious from those shots but I suppose looking from the rear or directly side on it would.  I'm gunna chop a full coil off the 280 too before I get stiffer springs. 8)

  Absolutely beautiful car, and the Euro bumpers are very attractive. For me, however, I'm going to keep my US bumpers, simply because I fear the increasing number of parking lot drivers who are either thoughtless, hostile, incompetent, or all of the previous. Sad.
