Sitting VERY legal cant remember but i know it was fark all, maybe $300?? i honestly cant remember but ill have a look

FY i just dug up my old suspension thread it cost me $500 to get all spring fitted, a wheel alignment, and replaced both top bushes.. so i think youd be looking at about $90 a corner per spring..

it is tucking a tad at the back and in line with the front

Me and the Misses play a game called Real or Fake..

We usually guess most cars correctly..

If you get the clubby kit, make sure you do the headlights!!

yeh called pedders today regarding the grey springs they quoted me $500 fitted, i think ill shop around today see what i can come up with.

Also went to an exhaust place near my house was quoted 290 to get the middle and rear muffler replaced with sports mufflers, does that sound cheap?

If you have half a brain you should be able to install the springs yourself, im kicking myself cuz i didnt. 290 to replace two mufflers is a bit of a joke, i got my whole catback for $300.. something i should of fitted myself aswell
