i guess the ride is a little soft, kind of makes up for the low profile of the tyres tough. but coilovers are wayyyy out of my budget at the moment. i'm actually pretty happy with the car at the moment, although lowering does sound very tempting...

i'll try come along to the thursday night meet, probably next week or the one after. i checked out the events section... so still at sky high dandenong, 8pm?

Doogle doogle doogle, you desperately need to come out Thursday night and meet a few of the guys. First your car looks in great condition for a 300k car and you have taken some good first steps. Some might consider my car over the top but underneath all that I have done a crap load of cheap mods and done all the work myself so I can help you with any questions. First step I think is lowering. Your front should not be rubbing, if it is then you are running the wrong offset. I run 17's and they never rub under any circumstances even under full lock. Cheapest solution is just springs if your shocks are good. If they aren't then pick up some KYB AGX from ebay america which are about 500 delivered I think. And also change your brake and clutch fluid. Anyway come along Thursday and you can see 2 tone interiors, lowered, 17's, fresh brake fluid and all the rest as well as meet some really great guys as well as Wun and Steve :lol:
