Thanks mate.

Yeah, good old Fishies beach.

PS, If I see you car in Morno... I'm SO stealing your rims.

Haha, I better watch out for you then, I might take some of your "go fast parts" off yours for an even swap.

I need to find some new good photo locations, know of any?

The parkpark at the Carrum boat launch is pretty nice. And under the Bolte is always a win but a bit of a drive.

Fantastic car mate, just wondering what the thing with wires going into it on the passenger side strut tower is?

 

[Jesterarts]

I honestly don't know mate...

Still learning this stuff myself.

Maybe some one else can shed some light on this.

First modification by me to the car is DONE!

SLHD springs are in the back and it sits SO much better. Feels alot better driving too, alot more planted... love it.

Will have pictures of how it sits not later, but here are the springs that came out and the ones that went in:

While I was out and about today, I also had the sunroof panel replaced as per the recall and tweaked the exhaust aligment a little more.

Fun day!

It seems I've discovered my first lowering related issue.

Going up my driveway, sometimes I scrap my inside tip. Doesn't happen on the way out though so that's good.

My driveway angles up steeply right after the crossover and I think if I go too fast up when the rear wheels hit the incline the car squats a bit and thus the tip scrapes.

Last night my fiancee said she heard the scrape all the way from the upstairs kitchen on the other end of the house!

They really need to hurry up and finish my house, I have a nice flat, smooth driveway there...

Cant wait to see the pics!! I am actually surprised at the big difference in size of the standard and aftermarket springs. How much lower did you go??
