After toying with the idea of selling it i've decided to keep the car and spend a bit of £Â£Ã‚£ on it starting with fitting the springs i brought off CharlE30 and the mtech 2 wheel from ChizFab, both look great so thought i post some before + after pic's. It was only done this arvo so i assume it will settle a bit more, know it's not on the floor but looks miles better and can still make it over speed bumps.
Next on the list is some all red rear clusters but they sell for over £200 new, anyone know where i can get them cheaper or has anyone used a tint spray with good results??

Looks great Stu. Its 40/40 by the look of it. Give it a few weeks and it will be a good bit lower.

You can get a really good result with red-tint spray, look in the e30 zone articles.

Yes, 60 at the front, 40 at the rear. They come in sets of 60/40.
