I'd refrain from jacking up the car like that on only one side. If possible, jack the whole front end up if you're working on the front, and the whole rear up if you're working on the rear. Drop looks good, I'd go a bit lower if you can in the rear. Honestly though, body work would be my main priority right now not suspension.
thanks for the comments guys. i am really proud with how far it is now, especially with me doing every single mod myself.
your not wrong about the bodywork, and it IS at the top of my list of things to get done.
yeah i have got to get a proper jack, since i got the car i have been using the oem one you get in the boot haha.

he has a jackstand in place so I dont see an issue there. I wouldnt worry about body work at all as it isnt even that bad. work you way from the ground up and leave cosmetics for last.
I've been told jacking your car like that can cause frame twisting. I don't really believe it either but was told by a friend taking a mechanic course. I guess you can't be too cautious right?

hey guys. so i havent updated this is soo soo long. this was due to not having a job for a few months. but s**t is back on track now.
I've now got a d16z6 block that i got cheap from a friend, and its going to be a NA build. not keen on the turbo now as i like the bare look in the engine bay, so its going to be NA with lots of Bisimoto parts.
I've Recently completely refurbed some Alessio alloys i got dirt cheap at a salvage yard, and sprayed them the best match I could get to the spoon blue.
heres the photoshop of the wheel in the spoon colour a friend did:
now the wheels on my car. A damn good match!
My plans from now:
Just bought some motegei lug nuts (spelling)
Replace Rear trailing arm bushing
respray lca's in the blue
EK skirts
sort out the rust (i have someone that is going to weld in arches on back rears)
X brace a friend is going to construct
all other braces
Wind vissors
Spoon style colour coded spoiler
recaro blue or black seats
replace hard riding 45 tyres with 195 50 15 toyo proxes
Then start buying parts and building the z6 motor.
probably missed parts but thats the basic

Seriously, you choose that color for your rims?
Boy does it stand out. IMO, sorry bro, but in a really bad way.
