Those heights are just above the minimum legal height. Means that your car is lowered between 1 and 2 inches. You could try to source some new springs (say King's Springs) in standard ride height, or maybe in low (rather than super low) for a lot less $$ than a set of coilovers. Or you could get some BC BRs for ~$1200.

Stock body ftw. Unfortunately this is a losing situation, if you raise your car it will look ridiculous if you keep it how it is you will slowly destroy it. Unless you drive like its a low car even though its not low, it can be done just take the right angles nice and easy when faceing driveways, speed bump etc

That's the problem with M sports kits. To pull that look off you do need some major low. I was going to buy one but honestly the height issue is why I didn't.

But in saying that I think you'll find that you'll struggle with most aftermarket kits with a lowered car. I had a GTR bar on and that ripped off due to a low ride height, currently I have a 400R and on my coils highest setting it still scrapes.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
