Thanks STM! thats the look I was aiming for...

Love that new suspension Kula, is that powdercoated or painted? Where can you get those superpro bushes?(sorry just did a search found an SA dealer) and indication on rough $, so i dont get ripped off..

ZoomZoom - Im not sure, i never really noticed, as far as i know theyre stock, I think its just the evening lighting conditions, I'll check them later and compare them to my dads stock ones. Although i think u can buy some special tints..

Keep them coming everyone, all lookin fine :D

Yep :shock: I am told they last really well... :oops: Hard to tell whether they are dead now or not. They are not leaking however the ride is crap and they are clearly not matched. Saving up for KYB AGX or Teins 8)

They are made by Bridgestone (yes the tyre manufacturer!). They are made in Japan and seem to be very light. I wanted Watanabes but these were $350 with tyres second hand.
