looks good, is that a photochop or did you have the work done?

if so what work did you have done, does it handle better?

Looks better lowered, but i reckin you need bigger wheels...they dont seem to fill the arches very well.

Edit: Soz, dunno what I thought I was looking at...looks fine at the front to me...somthing bout the rear bugs me tho.

I guess thats a compliment!! no its not a photochop, I purchased the springs from Allied engineering in Adelaide, where they ask how low you want to go from standard I said 2" :D

as for handeling handles the corners real well but as expected is a little bumpy I couldnt be happier :lol:

yeah not a real good photo, dunno if I should get bigger rims at full lock doing a doey it rubs a little, mind you I do tip the scales just under 150kg so Im defenately no lightweight.

interested what you think bugs you about the rear.. look forward to more info

cheers Robski

i like that..
main reasons being it's not too low for speed bumps ? (unless you have mega farking huge ones where u live) and 2, because your camber wont be affected too much...

looks nice !
how much $ and where did u get it done ??

I'm starting to think it may just be the angle the photo has been taken on, but I think the aspect that looks slightly odd to me is that there seems to be alot of wheel arch foward of the rubber that is empty...

The front seems to just fill the arch alot better. Are the the wheels 18's+? coz the rear rotors don't take up alot of space.

It does look alot better lowered though.

Looks good mate!

You do realize that you are replying on a 5 year old thread. By the way, it won't increase your post count

He's posting in old threads all over the place and pushing the new ones down the list. It's a bit confusing.

He's the second one to do it today, MATTVE just did it so he could post photos of his ute.

Which was the reward he received. When you see his profile last activity change to "Creating thread in Classifieds" as soon as he made his 10th post, it was not exactly a surprise.

Good work Mods! He was posting in all the old lowered threads for no reason.
