You still on apex? Get some decent springs/coilovers and the wheels will feel better :wink:

Glad you like the mounts too.

Only thing is, I'm going to have to do mine all by hand, unless I can pinch @dann2707 DA for a few hours, wink wink Dan

Im sure Dan would lend you his mate, if not i have one, you could come round to mine and do it, get Dan over too for a mini meet :smiley:

It felt better because they're lighter mate. Your also reducing the unsprung weight so it improves the handling at the same time.

Yes mate, this is one of the biggest differences i have felt for improvements to driveability tbh :up:

That looks really good mate. Just wondering if that is your low/high boost switch next to the gear stick in the pic.

Where will you be taking it mate? I need to get some bits done but want somewhere I trust and know will do a good job. What sort of costs are involved mate?

Wow, your bumper looks amazing. Is that a brand new black plastic strip on it too.
Like the screws you got , have you got a link for them?

Cheers mate, no its not a new strip I painted that and the exhaust surrounds satin black, they could do with doing again tbh as they have the odd mark from removing etc.

I'll send you the link to the screws when I have access to my computer, my phones s**t which makes it difficult :)

Passed its mot today, one advisory which was slight play in nearside bottom ball joint, I knew I should have changed them both when i did the offside one the other week.

Easy cheap job tho to keep me entertained:)
