Those are hot as....I was looking at those the other day thinking how good they'd look on a 3rd gen (since thats what I'm buying soon), now I know they look like on one, and god damn do they look good!

Nice buy.

awesome, remember to keep the balance and alignment in check (especially if it darts on you) cause you tires will chew out in no time!

now that's what a wheel arch should be filled with. sits really well. thats a great price on the shocks. the fact you got stuff from a member of the club shows what a benefit it can be. think i'll make a donation. GREAT WORK

Is there anything that you guys can see that needs to be fixed or is it all good?
They're all just a bunch of numbers to me :confused:
Cheers!

Looks fantastic, that right height is brilliant, looks great but still not too low.

Awesome :thumbsup:

Agreed, I'm not a fan of the really low look myself. I want to do something similar to my car.

And those stock wheels where truly awful :P

Anyone?

all they did was adjust the toe of the front wheels and not much more, hope they didnt charge you much cos they really didnt do anything

Yeah they didnt charge me anything.
From what i can see from the printout the rear camber is out the most.
What i want to know is do i need a camber adjustment kit to stop my wheels wearing unevenly?
