Fairly happy with it now it's lower,
Been wanting it for 3 years or so all I needed was to break up with the mrs and boom! ;)
I would go for 185/45's for the better grip but the 165's would look better thats for sure

Keep the updates coming mate :)

6.5j nothing spectacular mate. I'm not too bothered about the grip I barely ever get it above 40 down here so it's not really a problem for me haha

Good tyres for grip ate still worth it even if your not doin high speeds, then least you can chuck it into corners still ;-)

Mine are 7j and I've been told to go for 165/50 but I don't want big stretch I'm thinkin 175 or 185

I just want it as low as possible and if ita going that low I won't be hammering it at all purely for the fact tht I quite like my sump haha. I dunno I'm just gonna wing it and see what happens man. I've not got the money to sort at the moment anyway :)

I'm on APs purchased from Craig which I think is half the problem. They're too comfy ;p

Could highly rate the APs I love them! Still a long way to wind them down too.

So work is continuing. Unis done ImageImage
Got the halos on which I'm happy with I've just given the spoiler a spray so that is to come in the next couple of weeks. Also has te baffles go in my centre silencer, at first I was pissed off but I went to a garage they said 2 options replace or remove. She sounds amazing now! ;)

Also had an argument with a local police officer over the legality of the pressed plates and lets just say I made him look an idiot. ;)
