Did you get a new car? I can't see anything in the pics!!!! I'd say go for Teins. They are lower and more progressive than the prodrive ones. And its not jsut casue I have a set for sale! Get some decent pics up man!

Took pics tonight as i haven't had time to take any during the day lol. will try get some decent ones posted up soon.
nanaki Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 ok everything you've said so far is all good as far as i can tell make sure you get proper geometry done when the springs get done. is the car needing de-tangoed because that always helps with the looks. possibly new wheels but if remap is beyond budget im guessing new shoes are to... then i believe you save for turbo, decat pipes and fuel pump and then have the hand of god touch the ECU for you.

More in the front than the rear, and more than the Prodrive ones. The lower, the more aggressive the car looks. The more aggressive the better!

vicki Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 mctwistuk said: Well after almost a year away i am now returning to scooby ownership. After a few hours of toyin at the showroom and having a WR1 and a hawkeye STI to choose from i am now the proud owner of a 56 plate Silver STI. Would just like to thank Craig at S&S for his help and perseverence with me on buying this. Will post up pics of it on sat when i pick it up. A 2.5L engine with lots of torque is going to take some getting used to after the CTR. It will of course be remaining standard!!!!!! TOMCAT 2 is almost born lol Welcome back
