I know this is probably sacrilege, but do you ever wonder about lowering it ?

I've ordered some lowering springs Bing, they're being made as we speak, they will take it down just over an inch :thumbsup: 8)
That'll look even more awesome 8)

Thanks Craig, I'd have come this year but I'm in Blackpool at a European Elvis weekend :D true story!

It's not an M5 it's a proper ///M635 Motorsport Edition with the ///M1 Engine in it, one of only 20 in that colour, it's my mates and its immaculate 8)

The 240Z is lovely to drive, it's a bit 'wallowy and soft' so I'm addressing that with F&R ARB's and a set of lowering springs, should be a different car then, it's only 150BHP but only weighs just over 1000Kg, so it's perky, likes to be revved too, coming back from last years Classic Le Mans it cruised all day at European Motorway Speeds :wink: it was spot on :driving:

Collected the 240Z from the garage yesterday after it having Front and Rear ARB's fitted and passed its MOT, handles much better and not as floaty now, next mod lowering springs then that should set it up nicely 8)

I went for an early morning Fathers Day drive in the sunshine to a Cafe about 35miles away, just to test the ARB's obvs :) and can confirm it's a very worthwhile mod, loves the corners much better now, the 'down the bonnet' shot was taken from my head Cam :roll:
