Update:

Thisafternoon ive fitted the front fk coilovers and softstars,
and dropped the beam and removed the rear springs/dampners

tomorrow i will finish off the back and then tweak the fronts as i think they will need to go up a cupple of turns by the looks of it, as its a little low

ive also took a pic of the new rear springs that should be going in

so pics:

i just cant help thinking that those -100mm springs looks damn dangerous compared to the standard springs

they cost me £75 delivered, with all bulbs and wiring loom from 'C4RLO' on here the other day.... was bidding on tom shines set on ebay but went for £129 lol

no, eventually, this will be replacing my red 1.0 corsa that i have a the minute! as my brother wants to buy it as hes only 17 and will be suitable for him, with the mini engine

Skylines still staying
