      I haven't had one since before I put the coils in and dumped the thing - makes the ride that little more exciting although it is pretty fkn dangerous haha

          Got some more pics today with the coils wound down.
          Just need hub centric rings now. Maybe spacers if I'm feeling reckless.

              yeah, mums not impressed though haha. Also man, your car is sitting a good height now!! Not insanely low and not 4wd height - looks good!

              Same. Once the "new" wheels are finished and fitted with rubber I'll get it all done properly.

                Spend $50 on an alignment your car will drive better and your tyres will last longer. Win win situation I think

                  +1 for an alignment. It'll feel alot safer and the 50 bucks is nothing in comparison to worse fuel economy and wear out all your steering gear and tyres quicker.

                    I'm guessing this goes for everyone and not just me...

                    but I will get it done, soon.

                      NI thought you already had hub centric rigs dude? Get some asap. Don't want to **** your bearings out :/
                      As easy as it is to do its more money you shouldn't need to spend. +1 for a wheel alignment too. Looks good with all the lows but! Nice amount of tuck in the rear too.

                        Well I got an alignment done this afternoon, eliminated some steering wobble. Defiantly needed some hub centric rings though, hopefully before the trip down to busselton.

                        Also, gunna place this out as much as I can. I know most of you live over east but if anyone is local in WA I would highly discredit swan tyres in Osborne park. They have terrible customer service and sell ****ty products. I bought my wheel studs from them, and TWICE the adapter rounded, utter crap. They replaced all the studs and the adapter this time but if it was good it wouldn't have rounded in the first place! The bloke behind the counter 'Stuart' was an arrogant prick too. Anyways just letting the world know of there shocking customer service! Don't give them your time of day!
                        Rant over!

                        Byron is coming down tomorrow too, so hopefully some pics will be up in the evening of his mk1 and my mk3

                                Maybe man, got a few other things on my plate that I need to pay for first.. *cough* sell my mk2 and buy a mk1 *cough*

                                But it is tempting to put the 16x8s on the front and add a bigger lip on the 7s, then make 16x9 rears ;P
