I've already had mine lowered, but still not enough!! Have contacted Bell Hill and they state "the bongo's had it's day, and you cannot get lowering kit anymore" (wrongly i believe, but if anyone
knows where i can get coilovers, please let me know. :!:

So fed up trying to get it lowered. Have just taken springs off and got the grinder out, 1 1/2 rings later and looks so much better. Maybe not advisable for everybody, but it suits me. On advice, i've uprated the shocks and gone for a slightly wider tyre (from 265/35 z r18 up to 265/45 z r18) to help fill the space in the arches. This was done by a qualified mechanic so not to be boring but "get advice", once i can sort out how to get pictures on here, I will.

Fair point, gradually making them aware of my mods, have full body kit inc. rear arches, 18" wheels, s/steel exhaust, slightly bit lower and probably more to come. Every few months i tell them something and it only goes up a bit, one day it will all catch up with me. But until then.......... :wink: :wink:
