The progress is looking good.
I would raise it a little though. I personally have never been a fan of that "slammed" look... 
I think a more functional lowering is the way to go.

keeping it slammed for now, but might need to take it up a spline at the back if it gets too low. I dont think it will get out of my driveway as it is. might need a couple of scaffold planks to help this
its dropped two splines at the back at the mo i think...might be three...dunno really, it just looks great under the 4" rear wings

I like a slammed look but that negative camber is nasty, your tyres will only last 5 minutes!
If you want to go low, I'd bite the bullet and IRS it, with the benefit of shifting the engine forwards and getting it to fit under stock bodywork (alone well worth the work IMHO)...

i'm not irs'ing this one....but will start gathering parts for a suby bug in time
i know what you mean about the camber, and to be safe i might take it up a notch at the back...not cause of the tyres only lasting 5 mins...that dont bother me as it wont come out that often....but the clearance at the rear body mounts is mighty close...and maybe a bit too close for my liking
