Heres my pictures. to be honest, the rear has barely dropped yet, if its anything like my last 2 cars, it takes some time for them to settle. 35mm all round. not very impressed so far. very nose down!

nah, its ****ing awful. ive already asked damian at dpm whether supersport could be persuaded into offering a 35mm front and 50mm rear drop, he doesnt think they will. the front is spot on for me

Definately mate, id be well cheesed with that stance! I have emailed koni/eibach etc and no-one has replied, im guessing there reply would be along the lines of BUY COILOVERS YOU IDIOT.

But i dont want coilovers!! I want a LEVEL supersport kit! lol

I think im nearly as angry as you!

Have you got a full side view picture?

its getting a bit dark, i can get some tomorow.
Im pretty annoyed, i just think that 50mm at the rear would level it out a bit. i know its got a bit more to drop with settling and what not.
im in the same boat as you. i dont want to be very low, ie coilovers, but a nice subtle drop that may help the handling.

Well from what i CAN see, that front looks spot on, damien advised that we would see 25mm all round from this kit as the FR is lower than standard.

I cant see your rear settling anymore than it has tbh, i just fail to understand why this wasnt noticed on 'testing' of the kits etc, and companies offering a 'level' kit.

The 50mm supersport is similar tbh, very low at the front, small arch gap on the rear.

Wheres Damien @ DPM when you need him, surely theres a stamp of his foot needed here!

the front has dropped around 25mm straight away, i expect that will settle, its only been done 3ish hours prior to that photo. the rear on the other hand has gone 10mm.

To be fair mate, im just interested in the front arch gap, even close up with a flash in the dark would be fine!

the back hasn't dropped much more, certainly not 20mm. Handling is a LOT better, on a regular route i use the car feels a lot more planted and doesnt roll and bounce around as much. comfort-wise theres no difference to the standard ride..
i think its well worth going for a set, but i think that a 35mm front and 50mm rear has to be done by supersport.
