Yup.... what Benny said.

Mine is a lot lower than it should be, but I'll be getting that fixed soon.

You are welcome to come and inspect for yourself. Maybe you can help me figure out how to get it off my driveway

Bigger wheels should not alter the ride height if you don't want the wheel/tyre combination to become illegal.
Bigger wheels, skinnier tyres = same rolling diameter = same height.

Chassis Rails: 6.5cm

Lowered springs and a B & N Kit arent good together for an inspection....

Actually, I think my car's just about the same height as yours Ben.

Dominik, my mate who owns a Supra built his own ramp so he could get in and out of his driveway. Takes a bit of effort but at least it's a one off thing.

Vinh, the B & N side skirts are actually about 3.5cm off the ground. if i had some vertex ones im sure i'd be at least 6cm.
it makes maccas a no go zone, and when exiting a driveway, all passengers must get out and guide... lol
