Thanks.
I'm not sure to be honest. The car came lowered & with the splitter and that's all was done to her. Possibly some sort of springs, it's pretty stiff and handles good enough.

AP 4 pots will do ya do like the wheels
Thinking about the engine on mine, definately going for the twin scroll crank (as the UK one is different ) though are you going for a FMIC or sticking with the top mount for now?

Cheers Tony, def very happy with the rims. What spec you running with your own motor?
Well i don't know much about the FMIC. What's the advantage of it? Couple more bhp?
To get anymore more power out of the car looks very costly to do it properly i.e FMIC, Turbo, and another remap.

By the way cool grey is the only colour mate, but you already know that lol!!!
