    TAX RETURN FTW

    Picked up some Genuine 18" Silver VT GTS rims today for a stupidly good price, they got some gutter rash on all rims but nothing major and ill get em repaired soon enough hopefully.

    down side is i broke the passenger side engine mount today as well but its booked in for replacement first thing monday morning and is fine to drive as long as i dont boot it alot (im doomed )

    Car sits so high now, waiting on wagon_wheel to get me springs and shock prices tommorow.

    how much will engine mount replacement cost? i changed mine on the weekend. they cost $25 each and i dont see it being too hard to do yourself. i had an engine crane though so that helped

    that JC sticker looks very weird on ur car.... i have a SCL sticker in that same spot, which looks alright. It may just be that its not tinted.

    wheels will look alot better once u lower her.
    dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.

    the rear is now lowered on King Spring SSSL's and Munroe Lowered GT Gas Shockers, front is getting done monday morning along with my engine mount unless someone wants to come do it for me tommorow

    will be good once the front is done and the springs and shocks settle in.

    Engine mounts are changed, turns out the passenger one was snapped and drivers side one was almost snapped.

    front struts and springs are changed and the strut caps and bearings were ****ed so there all new now as well.

    couldnt get good photos cause a) dark & b) raining but oh well.

    cant wait for it to settle so its lower






    got a nice bit of camber i like it.

    You will have to get different front springs for it to sit like that, as being a V8 those springs sit roughly another inch lower than they should in a V6

    But the front will be an inch higher than marcus's. On the other hand you can go Ultras all round and be about an inch lower in the front.

    unless he decides to put any heavier modification near the front or bigger rims then he will rub.
