Well got some new wheels yesterday and smashed em on. The back end looked way out of place now so it was time for the lowered springs. So heres a few pics and my car now.

New springs are sweet as, the old ones were not tapered at all and were a solid heavy duty spring these are all soft and a nice ride in the rear now.

Yeah being a bit of a tight arse, i thought i could make a spring compressor rather than buy one:p It just worked, by the last spring the nuts were starting to bind on the thread.

Your wheels??? My wheels:D. The front has the suspension done up with pedders gear, but im reluctant to touch it as it rides very good and has jut the right amount of give for those harsh shopping center speed bumps. Plus ill rip the front off on my driveway if i go any lower, so it stays as is for the moment.

Mischa you can buy my old wheels now:p
