hmm...quite lucky u say that 'spot_on_jon' because i was looking at getting springs and dampers because its cheaper lol but you dont advise it?
ar thats the other thing i didnt know, what offset i needed...chears for that.
dunno if i like the debadged grills. the only ones i really like are the kamei ones but i fink ill just do the whole black badge thing instead...quite liking that little mod. soon gonna take off the bumpstrips though when theres some nice weather
chears people

its not that i dont advise it mate just not worth messin about when u could spend a little extra and get it perfect the first time.... ive lowered mine 60mm on damper and springs on 16"s and its not enough....
