She's a bit harsher over pot holes etc and a little twitchy under braking, nothing too bad, you just have to drive her a bit more, overall I'm very pleased with the installation.
I now have 5mm spacers on the rear & have installed "early warning" edging strip on the arch & bumper return lips; no signs of rubbing as yet & the road where I took those photos is very lumpy! When (if) I get chance I want to make some "suspension travel meters" so that I can see if I am meeting the bump stops or not, I have tried filming it with my GoPro, but it's not definitive enough.2000 Cosmos Black S50, Kyalami/Black interior, KW V3s, H&R ARBs, Supersprint exhausts, Apex ARC8s.

Looks great
The difference in how the rears fill the arches is amazing on these 2 photos, with the car being on different terrain. I appreciate that that's probably a stupid statement but since having fitted the ACS recommended spacers to the rears on my MC, it's highlighted to me just how much variation there is depending on where it's parked. I actually started to worry about it, but then I worry about everything
