Hi, i have a 99 spec front on my 93, it has a set of hks lowering springs on as well. It is low but not too bad, keep clear of big bumps and you should be ok, my splash guard under the engine seems to bottom out more than anything.

What can i say i\'m paranoid Dont suppose you actually have measurements, or could get, of how far of ground it is & how far it\'s been lowered do ya?

Si, the front end end in the middle on mine is a shade over 4", i do have the front lip on as well. To the top of the wheel arch is a shade over 24" on the front, hope this helps mate.:rollin

Cheers boss i reckon if i take my wheels off then the clearance to the arch will see me over the bumps with no issue lol

Other thing i noticed was i also have a side skirt thingamy which is pretty low to rear wheel which by a quick play with a pikky i reckon is only 3.4" or so off da floor ho hum looks proper bo thou just gota try & avoid killing it

Have fun, there are very few things more embarassing than getting stranded ontop of a speedbump, I almost managed it in the westie.  Luckily for me it just had enough momentum to slide along the gearbox until the wheels made it back to the ground.  It felt like hours sitting there with everyone in the retail park looking at me :o  Needless to say I never took the car back there again :rolleyes:
