[GEN3RATD]

airbags, or lower springs

[scott-95]

Depends, do you have your boat licence for bags?

[m1lky]

I rekon its a good height. If you do want it lower go for springs. Bags stuff your handeling

[GEN3RATD]

Go springs. Bags stuff your handeling

I plan to bust this statement.

Depends, do you have your boat licence for bags?

Im in the RAN, ive driven my fair share of boats.

[vnathanx]

haha i've got king spring superlows atm im happy with the height

and as for the mirrors im trying to keep the whole black and tungsten colour scheme.
whats everyones thoughts on a calais garnish? better than just the standard lights by themselves or??

[vnathanx]

[scott-95]

personaly, the rear wold be a tad high for me. (im 100% stock right now lol)
unless its the driveway? as rear arch looks closer to tire..
