          Kmac are known for there softness and not as stiff as H&R and other brands nice drop it actually doesn't look to bad, however I would change your shocks to match your springs.

          Then again I'd also go lower
          I'm soo euro even my missus is shaved...

            Thanks for the comments.
            The car never scrubbed on the wheel arches or bottom out over speed humps with the KMAC's.

            I agree it looked wild with the KMAC's but it was too hard and harsh of a ride.

            The H&R's are not as low but i rather have more comfort since i drive it for work all day every day and the handling is great very little body roll.

            Ill post some better pics of it now with the H&R's

                Grant, the Kmacs won't work with your rims. The front's will scrub a lot.

                    So it has less body roll then the KMACS? does the Kmacs have less body roll then the Stock suspension? as well as are you and were you using stock shocks?

                      Yes the KMAC's were very stiff and had alot less body roll than standard but it was too bouncy and un stable if you were going fast around corners.

                      I have lowered all of my previous cars with a minimum of a 3" drop all with standard shocks and they have been fine.

                      The H&R's are a great ride with very little body roll and smooth ride

                          thanks Flaps. I've got a set of H&R's on order. If they scrub I might have to go with eibachs or something adjustable. But I think Neil's S3 rims are the same offset as the TT rims? So I should be safe.

                              so you dont recommend the KMACS for going fast around courners, or can i just say Old Pacific Highway? how much were your H& RS?
