Update
wellers came back from powdercoaters and I'm really happy with the results:
Custom spacers arrived that also double as spigot rings:
but then these badboys came up for sale and I had to buy them so the wellers are now up for sale, pm me for details:
also I briefly got the car back for the body shop for a few days but there was some issues so it had to go back in. I did manage to get a few pics:
and last but not least I finally got round to putting the 5" springs and helpers on the front. this pic is as it sits now all the way down:
I will get better pics once I have a decent camera and a working laptop.
let me know what you all think so far.

it deals with it ok. I've softened the the suspension a little bit to compensate. pot holes and speed bumps are a no no. I avoid them whenever I can. the only difference I can really notice though is the steering has changed slightly, it feels stiffer.
I only drive on the weekends though so its something I can put up with, if I drove everyday to work I would never have it this low.
