A stock 430 on silver P40's is such a perfect match. can't get over how nice this looks!

What's the ride height here and how did you lower it? What springs etc?

^^^^ First of all thanks again for all the kind comments.

DJ- The car was lowered using its existing stock coilovers. It's a Euro spec car, I understand that the US cars lower theirs to Euro spec, which I still think is too high IMHO. We lowered the car about 2mm lower than scuderia ride height. If memory serves me right it was 15mm in the front and 17mm in the rear. We also did the corner weights in the car with me in the driver's seat. We could have lowered it more but I did not want to jeopardise the handling characteristics of the car. So far, thank god, I am more than happy with how it turned out.

On another note, just dropped the car off to have the fabspeed tips installed, will post pics when its done.
