Any chance to a link to the springs you brought

Car looks awesome and a great height !

Sorry to be a pain :P
No worries mate just found the link.

Many thanks... Few questions...

How hard have they made the ride?

How are the original shockers taking to it ?

How long have you been running these springs , perhaps you could pm me a little review ? Thanks

Great car. Those wheels sits perfect on it. Do yoh maybe remember how many coats of tint spray did you use on your tail light? I will try the same thing, before i spend 150£ on new tails.

Thanks mate, I ordered a 200ml rattle can which was small so I used the whole can. I was worried they would be too dark but I don't think they look too bad, I did put 8 coats of laquor on so I could wet n dry then t-cut to get the best finish I could. I will buy genuine ed30/r32 lights eventually.

Car looks class! I'm trying to find a guide to tinting the rear lights. How did you do yours? Cheers
