    sssl's in the back and sl's in the front lol, im running bags in the back of mine and stockers in the front still looks abit stupid but im trying to track down some ultra lows for the front, i think you will be disapointed with superlows but depends how you want it to sit really

    hey man nice looking stato, and a sweet price too well done

    as for the springs, dont put the super lows in the back and leave the front stock. i had mine sitting like that for a while as i didnt have the time and tools i needed to lower the front and it looked stupid, pissed me off the whole time. a proven stance, especially on the SIII is to go superlows in the front and ultra lows in the rear, trust me it will be awesome. you could dump it in the arse but it would look better if you lower it properly

    good luck with it all though. they dont need much really, just a good low stance and a nice set of rims

    Nice Statesman Mate clear headlights & corner lights (Blinkers/parklamps) & a lowering job is a cheap start, being a series 3 its already a nice looking car

    yeh ill just wait till i can afford to do front and back at same time and ill got ultras in back and supers in front, wouldnt mind getting bags but a bit out of my price range, shud look mad once i lower then put 20s on it.

    already got the clear lights on it so thats saving a lil bit on money

    Looks awesome mate, i'd lower it and put some 19"s, other cheapish mods would be extractors with an exhaust system, CAI and possibly a larger throttle body... depends how much you want to do I guess from there...
