Got my car in at last to be lowered onto apexi 35mm drop springs.

I was expected the worst, but the ride is actually less crashy. It's definately quite bouncy now down the back roads.

The main difference is aethestic, very happy with how it looks now. This is pretty much how I want the car now after having it for five years slowly making improvements from the stock 20vt it once was back then. (IMO wink )

They look like the eta-beta 5 spoke 18's Gaz.

That reminds me, I have a set of these for JBT in my garage.

That actually looks pretty darn good! Lowering is must on 18's. Those wheels compliment the car very well thumb
