    Very nice looking ride mate. Ride height looks good, but a tad too low. Ultra lows will be safer and ride a bit better

    I'd say go with ultras. Normally people go a lower srping in the rear as it helps it to sit more level.

    havent updated lately, well not much to say.
    installed my alpine unit wit the bluetooth module, stil havent put the spilts in yet. i still need to get spacers put in. im thinkin of gettin 16% tint all round wit a fern in the tint for the back

    im itching so badly for a manual conversion, although the getrag box is hard to come by
