Okay new update the car is now running off air. The KW V2 have found a new owner and i purchased the Rayvenr Hydraulics kit. Okay i probably should of taken some pics during install but it was such a mission to get it all done i didnt in the end sorry. But anyway after now having the arches rolled i can put her down pretty low, here are some pics:





After having the system installed for a few weeks i can say i am really pleased to say that the handling is very very good with it. I have it all controlled by this Dakota Digital controller:



It at the moment is getting its own mount made which will look pretty trick when done.

There are a few more mods to do before inters next week but i hope you like the pics you have got for now :) as just finishing off the boot with the tank

i'm gunna say it...you'll hate me for it....but..

adore the bagged drop  :happy2:, spot on....but..

makes the rims look too small to me now, bagged cars need big rims to dump properly, nothing stoopid but a decent 19" minimum for me then they adopt that tucked in stance more  8)

managed to beach my car last week, lost alot of paint under the skirts  :grin: i'll be passing on the bags for mine now, i'll just have to admire yours dude  :happy2: how fast is the drop? did you manage to stage it?

Cheers for the replies guys. As for the handling i dont think its as good as the KW V2s but i do need to play with the dampening a bit to get it spot on. It is a lot lot better then stock or the GAZ coilovers i borrowed for a bit, so i would say it is a good as good set of coilovers. But on the country roads i hit the limit of the road before i hit the limit of the car.

Lol trust you to say that - but then 19s would give too rubbish a ride. There has to be some comparise between form and function :)

Well here is a little sneek peak of the boot:
