Default Lowered the blobeye....

Got a set of coilovers recently from Bren @ APEX there for the blobeye through the group buy

Cant recommend them enough, i have them set fairly low and the car still has the same ride quality as the standard sti suspension....brilliant

Also APEX are super to deal with and the delivery is super fast, usually next day

Amazing. I would love that stance on my blob but it already kiss's the drive when reversing up unless you go super slowly.

I think mine is sat a little lower than that, and with my Exhaust tucked right up and a H Brace in place I rarely catch or clunk anything, if it does its usually on those dual speed bumps (I dont know the technical term)

However I have a splitter to fit at some point, and I know it could end in tears, so im looking to jack it up a little


Looks nice though mate

Looks great. Wish my front drive wasn't like it is, would have sorted some coilovers on mine by now otherwise.

Its a fibreglass copy of the Chargespeed one matey, local fella to me made it up for me, its really good considering the genuine one is £700+

You can also get it made of carbon fibre if you would prefer

I have a contact number for the fella that made it if any of you want it PM me
