It's got super lows in the front and ultra lows in the back

Nice xr8, havnt seen one in that colour nor have I seen it around :(
I noticed u had a 330 mm brakes. How much did that set up cost u. If u don't mind me asking :D

Cant comment on pedders in the front as I've only had them in the rear and they were no different to stock. Mind you I got them from the wreckers so cant blame them lol

I was sick of the s**t suspension I have . Sick of feeling every bump . 19" don't help .
So I forked out some cash and got bilstein shocks . Havnt put them in yet. Then I'll slowly replace bushes and s**t.

I'm pretty sure it was $2200 plus engineering cert, It was a couple of years ago and i believe the kit doesn'tinclude ball joints, Race Brakes Sydney kit.

I don't get out in it much as i'd like to but still love it to death

I've done all the bushes and noticed a big difference in the front, felt alot more solid,so now it just needs to get closer to the ground

My bilstein shocks arrived today. The cylinder is much thicker than a standard shock . And I cannot push down the piston. So that must be a good thing . They will be going in on Saturday . Can't wait

installed my rear bilsteins today.
ride is so much better. front feels the same but rear is much stiffer, i dont feel bumps like i used to. much better to drive. the rain stopped me getting the front in.

i still have that squeak when i go over bumps. must be one of the bushes. are the bushes in the rear sway bar that are connected to the diff supposed to have a split in them ?? mine do but its only on one side of the bush ??

that knock when i take off is kinda gone, its not as bad as before. i think the rear bottom shock bolts need to be tighter. but i tightened them up F**k tight. and had the weight of the car on them.

any way heres the pics
