specs were 18x7.5 +42. tyres were 225/40/18.

I thought they looked the same, wasnt 100% sure. The change of colour threw me off. Looks amazing though.

lowered on d2 coils. lol, i think its been mentioned here so many times.
i liked the black too. i didnt mind them when they were bronze, but all 4 wheels were scraped and guttered pretty badly. so when i went to get them repaired, i got them resprayed as well.

soz aero. ive only recently come back around page 780 so i may have missed it

But looking good lowered. Was going to go coils but decided to spend on a sound system instead. Oh well, i guess i have to wait. Maybe ill just go springs

guys, quick question, im at work now so i cant really check my manual and its quiet urgent
how the f*** do you read your R18A orange dipstick?
wheres the level indicator?

**Shimian** · 26-09-2010 11:13 AM

for fd2, you check the upper and lower indicators at the tip of the stick. It should be inbetween the 2 levels. Not sure if its the same for R18a

fingerscrossed my sound system will add weight and lower the car for me. then i can save on lowering

I dont think itll be for a while. I reckon by the time i decide to get some coils, they will be as cheap as springs today.

having a headache at the moment trying to figure out what to fill the spare din slot. So far ppl install pockets, gauges, cup holders. Dont really want to go down that path.
