then a few weeks after that i got bored of the schmidts and got me some brand new borbet As (suspect they're reps)

15x8 et15 rears and 15x7 et20 fronts

175/50s at the rear 165/50s at the front. nightmare getting the front beads to pop without using fire :p got it done though

had mixed responses from friends about the new wheels, most prefer the schmidts, i much prefer the borbets though :) and they hide my rear drums ;)

got a few niggly bits that need doing now, couple of rust spots ¬¬ need to adjust the exhaust as it wonky from when i nearly pulled the whole thing off by crashing into the floor front brakes soon

haven't touched the suspension since fitting the borbets, i can do lower on the front and will be doing so tomorrow as i got the day off 8-)

comments welcome, good or bad!!

more to come soon!

SPAX rsx coilovers are good! very good, real good ride quality for coilovers, a lot better than the cheaper stuff BUT, they dont go all that low..

I've now run out of threads with the helpers out on the front now. I'm happy with where its at now, although could go down a touch more on the front.

alteast theres no scrubbing though, eh?! :D

go down about another 15mm by the looks of it at the front!! maybe slightly less

also thought borbet As were only 16s so they would deffo be replicas but whered you get them from?? look tidy =D

got em from zensis enhancements in pontyclun, his last set, he might be getting more though, and i cant go any lower on the front. helpers are gone and I've still run out of thread...

maybe ill just run helpers.. hah! or get extra threads made up on the struts?
