Very nice. I thought it might ride higher with those springs but it looks great. I will have to complement Mick on it when I hand my car over to him for the hail damage repairs in a couple of weeks.

I have only dríven it around the block but it feels good.

Spranga,Mick told me your car was going in...it probably won't keep the SE wheels,I just put them on to see how it looks...will have NB8A 15s.

All the bits were off my silver SE,had only done 8500km...I was expecting it to sit higher too...the

Tip for anyone else fitting NB shock...in the front..the top of the shock is quite a bit longer than the NA ones,makes them pretty hard to get in,I found the best way to get them in is to loosen the lower control arm so it's out of the way,then they just slip straight in,just have to make sure to mark the camber adjuster bolts.

I'd like to see the pics when that's done. I'm not a fan of the look with the 17s on it.
