    what shocks do you intend to use? 100mm is 10cm, cm of travel is more than is in a standard shock, so for a start the shock will be fully down, meaning no suspension travel and the car will still only be about 80mm lowered.. another thing to look at, do you have 10cm of room from lets say the back box to the ground? also have you 10cm of room from the top of the tyre till the inner wheel arch? if yes is the answer to these and you can find shorter shocks to work with it... then, should work ok!! although i hope you never have to go over a speed bump!!

    well m8 im using gmax shocks, sadly on sun night i hit something in the road and maybe due to having next to no travel and lack of suspension my tyre wall exploded but that could of happened anyway. its not practical but it looks beauty.

    needs a bit ower at the front. coilovers with 100m rear springs are the way to go

    Front does need to come down to match the rear. Looks nice tho.
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    adding gsi skirts would make it look lower. mines looks about this height if not slightly lower on the front with avo coilovers. very stiff though even on there softest setting!
