That inner gaurd lip is a easy fix :P Just push them in a little.. Mine didn't get anywhere near the tire.. Just lower it, If it does scrub then go get them rolled... you might be wasting money if you get them rolled now.

OK thats one problem out of the way now the other is whether i will wait a bit and put the ssl springs on the stock shocks or whether to wait a two or three weeks and get lowered shocks !

SSL :\ didn't you say SL?? Lol

Up to you the stock shocks are alright till Superlow's you can just go out and buy KYB gas shocks.. thats all my mate's use on there SL and L's and there about $40 worth each.

Hey uniacidz i am not trying to copy you hahah but it would be a nice ride to copy, i dont think it really needs to be lowered looking at the side but looking straight at the back i think just lows will do it !

Thanks Steve-.-Dude i think they make the car look longer !

Well im 18 today and going out tonight and between seeing family today i went and started sanding my nut (it hurts to think about it) thats on the end of my shaft (not sounding any better) from black to a polished Grey to suit my chrome shaft ! I only stopped once i had realised that i had no clear coat so i gave it a quick wet n dry and i will finish it when i get some clear coat (but it will require some more sanding to get rid of the black bits that are left !

This took me about 10-15 Mins by hand ! (No hand sander)
