As always a small change makes a huge difference.
Totaly changes the look of the car but in a good way, you can't really go wrong with a nice deep set of Cups. i don't normally like it, but to my eye it looks like it needs some white lettering on the tyres

Whats the matter with the car i'm driving can't you tell that it's out of style?

Ooh thats fair enough, i didn't realise you liked a bit of that!
i think you need to take a photo of it with loads of weight in it one day tho! to see how amazing it would look lowered

You can still field it.
Just slow down for speedbumps.

I don't even slow down for hump-back bridges. My suspension makes funny noises
I once spotted this pic over on RR. There's something quite pretty about it:
Let's just say I couldn't do half the stuff I enjoy doing without ending up with broken sumps and gearboxes.
