Getting new tint put on my windows. Considering I was having problems looking out my blind spot, this is a safety as well as vanity thing.

No scrubbing at all, but like i said i only had 15's on.. Unfortuantely i didn't get the chance to change the wheels to 17's.. I also had Koni Reds installed to sort out the damping. The Koni's are setup for rebound damping, so the bump was mainly controlled via the coils and the rebound was controlled by the damper [shock].. I had the Koni Reds adjusted to 50% stiffness as these shocks are adjustable however you have to do this before installation. The Koni Yellows can be adjusted "on the fly".. Together with a rear sway and a front strut bar the suspension was well sorted on my BA.. Tony [Xedos/BigBoyLemonade] commented on it's niceness when he was down in Melbourne one weekend, Rupey was with me too..
