thats cool.the gmax kit was the one i was gonna go for.

so u reckon on 15s or 16s itll be ok but what about the standered 13" wheels will this be too low cos it will be about 6months before i get any alloys

You might get some rubbing with only a passenger in your car. I found it was the outer edge of my front tyres catching on the front arches, but wasnt doing much damage to knacker the tyres.

looks cool but fooking hell you bounce around all over the place and it starts pulling the bottom of the car to pieces i.e exhausts get ripped off, selectors fook up, lifting rear foot wells the list goes on...but it does look cool :D

well its too late to worry about that know my 60mm lowering kit is here and i have some 15" oz chrono e alloys sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted.should be doing it this weekend.my mate had his nova lowered 60 mm on 15s and that was fine.if i do have problems ill just have to grin and bear it.itll be sweet though.ill try and get some pics as we should be fitting this weekend if it stays dry.

it'll be cool as a jewel :aviator:
