Yeah that's true, yeah either ssl's or just sl.whatever comes up first.not interested in paying for it brand new at the moment :p

yea the new springs are expensive as, i was looking at some genuine king springs about 2 hours north from me, with the receipt and everything and original box but i was to late by 3 hours, only 200$ for a full set of sl. but they shouldnt be that hard to come across, just give the wreckers a call maybe they might have some. id reckon ssl would go nicely with the ul in the back. just my opinion though

never email wreckers, always better to give them a call. they way they cant lose you or ignore you while you are speaking to them lol, they would be a bitch to drive with but it looks good haha. ill swap you my back springs if you like... good to see you detailing your car, i remember on the cruise you didnt wash it but you had the bottle of detailer in the boot haha, need some pics to show that it is nice and clean.
love the photos of the intake, not long to go now, will look awesome once completed, nice and shiny. it would look better shiny then black. have a JD while your doing it, it might ease the pain lol
