yeah they were in the boot of the car :0 i took the old ones off and they were very much cut. car surprisingly felt ok on them. but ive not got cut springs on it any more,there a set of 40s off ebay but they seam alot lower than 40 for some reasonno cut springs for me,that would be insta -death. il take some other pics tomorrow for you guys to see the rear. not quite as low but still nice. im not much of a fan of cars that scrape everywhere tbh.

I have a well known "stanced" 635 up my passage at the moment. It would make a great snowplow if the engine wasn't frozen solid ! :eek: A bit less money on coillovers/tints/council bits and a bit more on proper maintainence would have been a better idea ! :?


I have signed up to Stanceworks ready to let loose on these losers and their "dope" scrap but only after my customer has sold this turd.

Could be a while judging by how rock hard all the hoses are........

No Rob, it's not mine ! :)

I just tell the victims how rubbish their turds are and take money off them to undo the damage they've paid to have done elsewhere :D

Alas, as 6's go, it wasn't a bad car until stancecock got hold of it :(

Let's stop air kissing each other shall we tell it like it is. Kos, you modded yourself into being a council mod champion - that's how far gone you are.

DanThe - I'm surprised you can type given the state of your fingers from shovelling all those brick sandwiches into your gob - or whatever else it is you people eat up there.

Electrics are important for the well optioned, premium interior'ed E30, loaded with understated tech. Don't hate - imitate.

Glad it has thawed out Pete, might be able to move the turd from blocking your rear entrance now eh?

Imagine spending £1,000's on coil overs and Phat rimzz, and not bothering with £5 of Antifreeze? :roll:

I guess that's "stance " for ya .. :eek:

that would look a lot better without the shit american bumpers.

the word "stance" makes my skin crawl, anyone who uses it to describe their plans for their car is the most council of council types.
