ive got a bit of cash to spend this weekend, and i think im gonna buy:
1. some lexus lights (or clears)
2. lowering springs (should i go 60mm or 40mm? will be on 16's soon)
3. induction kit.
can anyone think of better bits to spend my money on.
p.s. i dont want to give my money to you and i also dont want a xe conversion

handling is good, obviously better than 40 mm , the lower down you are, the more car will grip the road because of the lower centre of gravity, handling is good, can throw it round abouts and its not to bumpy either also im on ET45 wheels and i dont get a single bit of scrubbing even with a full car.
