i think that black one is on standard suspension so yes i think it needs dropping alittle, i plan to get it low on the back by adjusting the camber a touch.

should be pretty nice once i've got them on and its sitting right.

They ascari cuervo's :smiley:

Tell me about it  :grin: they need a refurb though, so i'm thinking of painting the accents metalic grey like the monza's, then mirror polishing the faces and getting them powdercoat lacqured 8)

i'm going to have to contain my excitement until i have tyres so i can fit them though  :sad:

can't fault you pal, keep us posted, really looking forward to seeing that, what size tyres you lookin at the 30 profile I guess. Of course some of the purists won't like it, but you gotta try stuff :happy2:

i know, its like 17's on a mk2  :grin:

it's not going to handle as well as the 18's thats for sure, but, if i can get it sat right on the coilovers and get some negative camber in on the rear, i think it'l look nuts!

will have to be 225/30/20 by the looks of things.

I think for now im going to do them all matt black then in the spring i'll get them polished/diamond cut 8)
