Hey all,
Got some new rims for my 99 EK today - just posting it in here cos none of my friends care :cry: and the guys at Donnellans - place in Boxhill Melb. where I got them said I could lower it quite a bit. I'm just saying this because a lot of ppl in this forum told me you can't - but these wheels don't look as big as I thought they would but are still SIIIICK! I think I'm in love 8) Will post pics later when i get a digi camera.
You can always go lower... :mrgreen:
What rims did you get? Make sure you come to the mini-meet on the 20th and GOR so we can check em out and take some snap shots. ;)

So where and when is this meet you ppl r talking about? Cos if I can make it I'll come for sure. All i need to do to the outside now is replace grill with type-r grill, front and rear lip, side skirts and my gf is buying me some fogs for Christmas. :D Oh and I might be getting a pair of red recaros!! SICK!

If you guys want I can tell you they're at www.melbccr.com/ in the forums section plus there is a pair of DBX seats for $1000 brand new and they look even better - but RECAROS.... 8)
Did I mention I need to lower my car!!!!!!! :roll: :evil:
skoota - come to the mini-meet on the 20th.
