Looks great man!
I'm a fussy C*** I know, but I'd get in there and paint the hubs and calipers :D
Black rims/polished dish looks awesome with the yellow.

Thanks guys, they look as good as I imagined... and photochopped lol

I traded the stock 17s on them, so 2000 plus the 17s and 400 for the springs.
Got them at tempe tyres, they did the springs too.

Which end got lows, which got s.lows?

Did you do shocks aswel or just springs?

Hows camber, not going to wear out tyres?

Sorry to ask so many Ks.

Height looks great!

Slows on the back dude. Ive got a heavy sub box in the boot so that drops it a bit too.

Shocks are stock, its only done 6000kays so they are still ok, I'll have to do the camber kit, but I think its only needed on the rear but I havnt asked about it yet.

Yeah the hieght is spot on for my liking... nothing scrapes and it sits nice

XR8... pfft, too slow for me dude... but yeah they look hot in black
