SL's wouldn't be bad, SSL's on the back might be better tho, depending if you want the car level or not.

As for the shockers I'd get Monroe GT Shockers + springs, but not sure on Luke's setup.

Might visit a suspension place and see if they can show me some examples of ride height. I don't want it to be too low that it scrapes over everything. That would just be annoying!

SSL in the rear might be a little two low, if he doesnt really want to lower it alot..

Im 95% sure they are GT's as mentioned above... But ill check.. Im not 100% as it was like that when i got the car.

After god knows how many weeks with a heap of blood, sweat and tears I have finally completed my custom boot install. I am very happy with the outcome, although the time spent on it probably could have been spent in better ways

Cheers for that, they both use low level output, to put it simply basically the pre-outs that come out of the head unit are all low level outputs, in translation RCA outputs. The idea is that instead of using the speaker wires that come straight out of the head unit (which have already gone through the built-in amp of the head unit), the low level outputs are the signal from the head unit before it even hits the inbuilt amp, which then gives you an undistorted signal to which you can then amplify with your external amps. This is one of the main problems using a Line Out Convertor (LOC), all your doing is amplifying an already amplified signal which will only give you distortion. Phreddy's mod gives you 2 pre-outs (4 outputs to which you can connect 4 channels), I've wired my RCA's to my 4 channel amp, then from my 4 channel amp I have 1 pre-out which I have connected my mono block.
