Went a shade of shadow chrome which it tweaked with the guy. Now toying with the idea of H&R springs as i need a new set of springs. Just wondering if it will be too low and scrape. Might need to adjust the front number plate holder?!

I dropped my qp 20mm all round and the front was too much. I would do the rears first and see what it is like.

Really... interesting... So i see the H&R kit does Lowered front axle [mm] 15 mm, Lowered Rear Axle 35 mm. Just wondering if this is going to be absolute carnage lol

Try some spacers first. Strangely they give the effect of the wheel filling the arch, but without lowering the car. Or maybe lower it by just 10mm, which from memory is the difference between a Strad and the other versions of the GT.

BTW - the new wheels look fab!

Already have H&R spacers. Who does 10mm springs front and back? Not seen them? If not will just need to buy factory springs i guess. Cheers :)

You can get the factory supplied 'MC handling pack' which are the strad springs. They are 10mm lower than a standard Granturismo.

Thanks Sam, would i need to get the whole MC Pack or could i just get the springs and they would work with my skyhook original set up? Cheers

Springs are springs. 10mm all round will still leave you with a$$ up appearance. Depends why you want to lower it I guess. Looks or handling?
