    Well there's no visual difference to the car really, so no need for pics.. But the front did drop about 5mm cos it scrubs occasionally (not a big deal).. Now the handling is a different story! Went from muswellbrook to penrith via putty rd to wholesale suspension with nothing but the lovells in and I thought it handled nicely on the road then on the way back with all the new bits in it blew me away, it was a like a go kart! Very happy with the work they've done.. It's very solid thru the corners yet still comfy..

    Personally, 20s on our car ... Sometimes see 22s and they can make the car look all wheels, if that makes sense?! - unless they are a dish then 22s work

    Just a lil update peeps:

    Went and had a weeks holidays on the Goldcoast and thought I'd purchase matching rear GTS seats while I was up there..

    (horrible picture)

    And on the way back home I hit a decent sized pothole and cracked my front passenger side rim!! Damn u nsw roads!!

    So some new 20's will be on the car within the next few weeks, definitely going 10" on the rear this time round..

    Cheers

    i like the gts seats, adds a nice touch! also with the rims if you dont mind loosing handling and abit of power then go the 22's, personally id go 20's everyday ive had both and i MUCH prefer the 20's.. either way you will be stoked

    Thanx SSV-AD, gonna stick with the 20's mate..

    Update:

    Full E3 GTS body kit purchased. It'll probably sit in the shed for a bit, been spending a little too much for the missus' liking of late.. Should look good when it's painted up and sitting pretty..

    Nice! What that set you back ?

    Are you going to go the whole way and adjust the rear to get the hsv rear lights to fit?

    Cheers mate, got front and rear bars for $650 with out any add-ons, fog lights, DRL's grilles etc.. Thought they were gonna set me back a bit but luck has kicked in and nearly got all pieces needed for the front bar (second hand) for a lot cheaper than expected..

    Just looking at a set of rear lights and caps now, sort them out next pay.. Just gotta get guards and E3 bonnet to complete the kit then it's off to paint..

    With the GTS dash and wheels next it should be close to an exact replica.

    Hi Luke, going to try the whole "house" thing this year so some sacrifices had to be made.. Ive made a deal with the missus tho, it'll go up for sale for 6 months and I'm able to add the body kit and brakes etc over that period, if no one buys it within the 6 months the spending must stop for a year and I get to keep it. I'm really hoping no one wants it "that bad" lol

    Hopefully we'll both be able to enjoy it kitted up lol.
