Screw you Matt! Don't make me press this little red button which will cause the battery isolator to self destruct... :twisted:

Venom or Millenium front, front needs replacing as thats what was damaged from lady hitting me.

Depending on cash, i might just go the front bar for now, or maybe add side skirts, not sure about rear..

Something a bit different like this

I am not a fan of the side skirt door pannels

My EL - http://www.users.on.net/%7Echooka/Chook ... ics106.jpg

Any other suggestions?

Kit's I would not recommend getting are the Millenium and the Group A kit. The Millenium kit may fit well at first but they seem to sag over time probably due to the thin fibreglassing they practice. Not to mention the moulds for the millenium kit have gone down the s**t. And IMO the Group A bar, even though it may "fit" it never actually looks like it fits the car... Ask EFMontGhia... That's who that car belongs to up above. He just recently removed his front bar and sideskirts coz he hated them so much.

Anyway, all in all... Go the Venom... They look nice come rain or shine :D Although they are fairly pricey...

i believe that the venom bar only really looks good with an intercooler behind it... so all who gets one should turbo/supercharge ;)

FINISHED MY LAST MIDYEAR EXAM TODAY! :D so I did a couple of things I've been putting off due to study...

Simon (1800reverse) came round and picked up my wheels today so I'm riding on stockies until my 18's arrive 8-)

Two days before that Matt (MadMatt) came round to drop off a pair of rear "low" king springs to replace my "superlows" to level my car up as the a*** was sitting down a bit due to my 50kg+ worth of stereo gear... So i dropped them in while I had my wheels off... I can't tell which ones are the lows and which one's are the superlows???!!! :D

Oh well, if they weren't lows then I can call that little exercise "teaching Simon how to change rear springs!"

I can't really tell about the height because i changed the wheels at the same time. But it looks a touch higher than before... Seems to have leveled it up perfectly.

There's only meant to be like a 15mm difference between lows and superlows anyway so I doubt you could really tell by looking at them side by side...

15mm i thought it was more like an inch.

Super Low Sports springs lower vehicle approximately 50-60mm below standard height.


I thought that XR was 25mm lower then stock height. So therefore it would be about 25-35mm.

All I can remember is that Ultralows are up to 75mm below standard and Superlows are 50-60mm below standard but I can't remember what Lows were... There wasn't much of a difference...

Anyway... My new wheels arrived today :D so I must go fit them! :D:D
