hey guys, been on here a little while.

The day I bought her

after about 2 days I bought some king springs for it (SL for the front and SSL for the rears) also bought a K&N panel filter at the same time as the springs so that went in. picture after the springs. Around the same time I also put a typhoon secondary intake in.

Was never happy with how the rear sat on these springs.

Got bored with the std 17s on there, so I went for a hunt through the shed and ended up stealing the old mans STD TE50 rims, I liked these rims on there something a little different.

Then scored a FPV GT steering wheel for the right price, so on it went.

Ended up getting myself some ba gt rims for a steal, and at the same time these came up, I scored some autometre cobalt gauges and a dual (no geniune) pod.

after this I saved for a bit, untill someone on here parted with there ba-bf premium brakes with slotted fronts, then I saved some more,

then I got a call from the old man to say he has found me a process west surge tank, 4" dump & cat plus 75lb injectors for close to a steal, also had bought some HD vale springs.

So on saturday just gone, I went down to my tuner simon @ xtreme to pick up my malwood option 3+ clutch kit, and then went down the road and got some pedders coilovers, that brings me to this arvo, so instead of going out and getting plasterd as usual, I stayed in and only slept till 10 rather than 3-4, after talking to a site member about there set up (thanks again) I ended up with this......

old front: std front shock and SL kings

What's the ride like with coil overs compared to the kings? And how are they adjusted to be level? Using a tape measure

Only way to go, brakes are needed to stop, suspension helps with looks and handling and then POWA for fun with a car that can stop and turn when asked to on demand not when it wants to haha
