That looks great mate & it will drop again in time driven.  You may want to conside 4 wheel alignment after its settled though, then it will have great sure footing on the road.  eye thinks i will still after some gsi rims or omega equivlant .. but at moorigional hubcaps are looking ok lol |

Once the springs settle if it not low enough you could always get the grinder out Would love to see one of these lowered on a set of early cd alloys like this /vauxhall_1986_carlton_sal.jpg) |
