Compared to the standard shock 50mm replacement springs I am alot lower I would guestimate at around 80mm + maybe more (Aiming for Spooky Low at front).

It has taken a bit of work to get her to as she is and I am still modding at the mo, I have had to give the 5 some neg camber, I have modded the inner wings by removing about 1" of metal need to skim the front bodykit arches as some rubbage on tight turns on the tyre (running Toyo 195/45/15 tyres). It is only slight rubbage but enough to be an MOT failure really.

To much graft she is at home still up on axle stands waiting for me to sort the passenger side wing out. I am already running full polyflex setup.

Good stuff mate, will polyflex work well with the 50mil springs on apex shocks?
