another small update, finally fitted my front brakes which iv had for nearly a year lol, also fitted my bilstein springs and the kyb agx front shockers
iv not driven it yet so hopefully the suspension will settle. my next plan was to get some new wheels, either softstars or speedlines but they may have to wait as iv got these now
so as soon as iv got some verniers and aftermarket management these will be on
