here's a 'before' picture for comparison:  ok here's some 'after' shots:    Little story for ya: Dave (mechanic who fitted kit) "what drop was that kit?" Me "35mm" Dave "you sure" Me "yeah thats what I ordered" Dave "We'll see" Was waiting outside garage getting some fresh air and some guy pulled up in a very nice Alpina M3 Coupe then Dave reversed my car out of garage! You should have seen my face Dave said "that's more than 35mm mate" Me "i was'nt expecting that" Guy with Alpina "Wow that look nice and low" My first impression was OMG that's to low and not what I expected but looking at it now i'm well happy. The ride is nice and smooth and you can def feel the difference in the corners. roads round here are crap but the ride quality hasn't been compromised! happy | | | | | 07-09-2006, 02:45 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |

I forgot that the british weight I think is in stone. | Stone? I think that europe uses the metric system (kilos/liters/meter) we use the standard (lbs/gallons/feet) we are so whack!

Stone is the british unit for weight. The metric system of grams, kilograms, etc.. is the unit of mass.
Weight and mass have come to mean the same thing, but in a true sense weight is a force, and mass tells you about the density of the object. Meaning that if you take a 10lb brick on the surface of the earth it's weight and mass are the same. But if you were to take that brick into outer space where the brick is no longer being influenced by gravity it's weight is 0 pounds, but it still has mass. | | | | | 07-11-2006, 12:11 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 |

Technically, you are ALWAYS influenced by gravity, or any object with mass, no matter the distance. This is called The Inverse Square Law. The force of Earth may not be measureable by any instrument when, say, in another galaxy. But...it is still there. as in .0000000000000000000000000000000001394. Possibly to small to measure, but not too small. The only thing I was unclear on was the british unit's of measure. Thanks Do me one better....c'mon __________________ SPEED IS NOT AN EQUATION CONSISTING OF DISTANCE DIVIDED BY TIME.

Wow... it wasn't meant in any way to be derisive. for all practical purposes mass and weight are the same thing. | | | | | |
