Maybe its for a good thing though stops from doin skids, 20s only lasted about 2000ks down to the markers....looks hot just cant drive it as hard anymore...

I found the rear is alot stiffer and feels good over the bumps but just squats right down under power, plus I have about 60kw more then when I had the standards..hehelooking at gettin some new shockers to combat tramp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
