Springs and blocks from classicswede (for sale section), by way of intermediate owners.
It makes all the difference, that last two inches man (put your own joke in there dude.)
I was worried about the ride a bit before hand, and buzz-killer bumps, but takes it all and laughs out the other end.
Suppose if your dampers are up to it, it makes no real difference. If theyre shot, you'll suffer though.

Already lost out on a set of 14" 6j import eunos wire wheels, that were fuggin killer. Got distracted playing on guitar hero 10 mins before they finished on the bay. had sat for two hours solid beforehand staring at the screen watching the time tick down an all.sm2
Missed a set of big BMW Mini fake Minilites coz me tinternet connection died for 8 mins at the end of the auction. sm2

And after seeing AndyPs wellers that he painted black with a red rim, i quite fancied shooting for some a dem.
Seriously.

We'ld never be able to park next to each other dude.
Matchin wheels? people'll think we're the G word.

Still, got some stuff finishing soon im bidding on, so im saying nowt till all is done.

G ride you mean 8)

You have shit luck on the bay dude! Yeah I quite like the look of Bini minilites too, pmsl @ distracted! Killer! I always set my alarm if I'm not near the CPU!

Got any pics of Andy P's car mate? I like them cos they look pretty cool, nowhere near as cool as Minilites mind, and are nice and robust!

Dude my mate is selling some 15 x 5.5j 4x100 BBS wire looking wheels from his JDM Eunos ATM if that's your thing

Got to try really hard to be different these days man.

I have the ideas but not the monies lol must still have hackers in my computer :(

Do it mate, steelies would be easy to refurb! blast the rust etc off with a flap/wire wheel and break out the satin black. Job done!

I'm well pleased now cos those are the ones I'm getting! They look better than I hoped, Definitely stick out enough to justify some JDM y0 arches :lol:

Seeing as you're my very own fountain of knowledge do you know of anyone running arch extensions and what they're from matey? :340:
