Shame you had to raise the rear though cheers, i didnt have to raise it up i wanted to... while it looks good low it was just to harsh to drive every day.. i also got sick of the tow bar rail and rear lip scraping in and out of drivways, its even worse when towing a trailer, it was just becoming impractical.. |

When was the last time it went off-road - soccer practice? And Troy... I told you, those wheel dont suit your car. I will need to take them off you. As doing this favour is a big hassle for you, I would need to charge you $50 to do that

Has to be one of the nicer box cars out there. And good to see you got rip of that supercharger |

I like them, if I didnt I wouldnt have brought them..
On the plus side the rims are physically better aswell, the old cobra copies without tyres weigh as much as these rims with tyres.. for the 3 years owning the cobra rims i always had issues with light shaking on the steering wheel, had a few places say it was the tyres, tried many different brands of tyres and never completely stoped the shaking untill i brought the new rims.. there is no more shaking, cabin noise has droped due to no more harmonic vibration from the other rims.. win win... |

I think you need big brakes (that change the offset to AU) and the AU diff. Solve your problem
I'm running hub adapters. Never had any drama with them. I reckon they are great. Opens my options up 10 fold |
