See if you can take photos of the rashes while you're there.

Indeed.. If you cant find a decent 18" set 17x9's still look hot.. Darius (LowerMyCG5) is sitting pretty on 17x9 and it looks sexy as fawkk.

It indeed looks sexy but id have to lower the car more to make it look anywhere near as nice. The height i have now is already too low for aussie roads imo..

But yes, will do with pics if/when I go.

May i ask what part of Nsw you're from? Could possibly have a look as well if you're near North Parramatta ahaha

How low are you exactly, your photos look pretty low (front looks lower). If you're as low as the silver or white euro here then you're fine but if you're as low as the grey one, you're defectable :lawl:

Haha welllll, my fender to ground measurement is 23.75" all around. Have you measured yours?

Thing about our 6th gens is that the engines sit lower than the body so it doesnt make us as low as other cars. But I believe the engine protector thing underneath the car is about
6-7 cm off the ground.. so definitely defectable :driving:

Oh wow dude you live so far! Have you had a look at otomotos range of wheels? They're fairly cheap so you should buy a set ;)

Geez.. i think im 26" all around LOL. Approximately 1-1.5 finger gap all around. Need to bore out the fork so that the front sits about 1cm lower, but that takes time and i dont have the tools to do it now haha.

Geez i assume you scrape everywhere you go on sydney roads? :jae:

I haven't been to the store, only online.. Do they have more stock in-store than shown online?

Haha nice! i was there when I first got my coils and then gradually got lower every couple weeks to where I am now. Oh yeah thats right. The boat look remedy? Or am i mistaken..

Yeah sorta.. mainly on the stupid carpark speed bumps. But i do get my upper control arm slapping the strut tower a lot. No good :(

Im pretty sure they post everything they have in store in their online site. They have really nice vip rims if youre interested in that look

Wish i have coils lol.. No friggen money...

Yeah boat look remedy.

Carpark speed bumps are the worst, especially the ones in some bunnings warehouse and multi-storey car parks haha. Ouch, are you able to fix/prevent that?

Yeah they look sweet, but i probably will only rock vip style for some occasions. I want to achieve a similar look to Darius' ride.

Dw about wheels for the moment. Get coils! It's really worth it although its approx $850 shipped from the US for the F2 type 1s.

Oh yeah man don't get me stated. There arent any low car friendly speed bumps :p


Haha yeah man that's good inspiration :) just moar low!!!

Plan sounds good man! :) update as you do it hey?

And nah man no HIDs for me, i just bought xenon bulbs from ebay. they have a tinge of blue so I'm pretty sure they're 8000k.
