The dent in my driver side door (My LEFT side) was done by some idiot that doesn't know to look behind him while backing up, insurance is paying for repairs soon so that will no longer be there ;)

... So I'll just welcome you too the club instead ;)

Actually can you post up some decent side shots of the whole car so we can compare drops?
When I get my shocks and springs delivered and put in my car I will take a few good pictures for you! Cheers mate
I actually meant before you switch the shocks, to see whether they're compressed enough to allow for that much arch tuck. It's difficult to tell without a decent side shot.

From afar? (ie. the whole car or at least half in the picture) ;-)
