well i finally have done some upgrades! 4 hours after waiting in line at the post office, my car doesnt make horrible clunking noises at the front anymore and corners better than ever. i bought those elsport springs/shocks and the car sits about the same as the MS suspension. still not low enough unfortunately. the actual shocks were a good 4-5cm shorter than the original kit - is this the case for all aftermarket shocks (eg kyb/koni)
all i can say is mt cootha felt stupid slow @ 60km/hr and being responsible figured i didnt want to risk giving it a thrashing on a friday night!!! saw a radar on the way home...
