Do you like your lowered x? How did you do it?

Ride quality / handling - I don't even remember what it was like before the mod. But I think there were some overall improvement in handling, and not much different in ride quality (at least my wife didn't complaint!)

Looks - miles better; but needs at least 20s wheels or else the smaller wheels will look even smaller; I also put in spacers to push the wheels out as well so that they don't look weird with the fender flares.

Camber / Tyre - my last set of Advan tyres burnt out way too fast (less than a year, badly uneven, inner worn out much more than outer ) and I thought I had camber problem. But my trusted workshop sweared that the camber settings were all good and had no problem. So I changed to a new set of Michelin tyres, they've have been running for a year, and still look ok. I also pump in higher pressure since then as I don't want to burn more holes in my pocket!

Here's what she looks like:

I haven't really considered lowering or using spacers, but that setup looks very good without taking it too far. Subtle and slightly more aggressive..... in other words, Perfect! Good job simoncpw.
