From seeing this in person it actually looks alot better than Alex's n00b photographer skills.
This should be good for your confidence Alex! Lookin' good.
P.S needs 5mm spacers all round and a little more low in the front.

i thought people used coilovers to lower thier cars....
haha wheels look good
Ssshhhh, I've actually been complaining that they're too stiff for Brisbane roads and I'll need to soften them up a little. The roads around Toowong especially are completely destroyed and they make the car crash around like a bumper car.

Looking nice! Can you lower the back anymore? There's 2 ways to lower a car, looking at the wheel/guard gap and lower it level or looking at the side skirt/body line and leveling that. I'm going coilovers so I can do the latter.
For comparison, mine was lowered ~45mm all round and measurements were 130mm just in front of rear wheel, but there is part of the undertray a bit further towards the front which is 110mm (and lowest point on mine).
That's the lowest point on mine as well, have you attempted removing the guard? Have you scraped it much? I imagine mine's just going to shave off inch by inch until there's nothing left
Nup, i guess the question is what it's actually guarding underneath? Don't think i've scraped it as yet, so not planning on removing it myself.
Only slightly scraped tips on a steep driveway so far. Front lip has about 130mm clearance so not too low.
Love the CH's, very nice. The size and offset is probably a perfect fit without any rubbing i'd think?
Mine are 19x8.5 +45 and surprisingly only had a minor bit of modification needed at back of rear arches (just needed to file back a 5mm corner of metal that was sticking out where bumper line meets body).
True, slightly wider rim and offset contributes too though.
Mind you only really happened with a car load of people, half a boot full and hitting decent bumps/dips in melbourne's quality city roads.
