Title: You may remember this…

Now my arm's fixed, and I've had my shiny new green '03 for a week or so. With TTE lowering springs the new car feels much more planted than the '00 – it's much less 'tail happy'. Six gears makes a big difference on the motorway – however I have to confess that the reverse beep has saved me a couple of times when I thought I was in 1st (I'm sure to disable it later as I get more familiar with the transmission). The stereo sounds much better too!

Although the crash was awful, and I hated losing my beloved lagoon blue...  every cloud has a silver lining (or in this case it's green).

Nice, although it doesn't LOOK lowered.........

It IS I take it? If so, by how much?

Did you get all the J-Spec stuff on it done at Mr T too?

It's got TTE springs - dropped about 1-1.5 inch (looks lower side-on). I did the J-spec stuff myself.

TTE springs lower the car by 30mm (about 1.25 inches).

Yes it is - I was torn between the green and blue. Green won only because I fancied a change.
