im not great at the arty pics but you get the idea :signLOL:

Love it mate.
How are those Sportlines on standard shocks? Is it a bouncy ride or is the dampening on standard shocks okay with these springs?
-
I find them only slightly different from standard realy. I have had other brands of springs on previous cars and the eibachs are defo closest to oem. Great buy for £129. Just enough drop to tide me over until i get coilies :)

Welcome, nice and stealthy :congrats:
-
I do love a bit of stealth :evilgrin:
-
Couldn't agree more myself :innocent:
-
very shiny :happy2:

When are the tail lights going black?? :notworthy:
-
very nice

When are the tail lights going black?? :notworthy:
....I hope never!
I followed a car with darkened brake lights the other day and the visible signal was seriously impaired :stupid: The sooner that any kind of aftermarket tinting of signal lights is made highly illegal, the better! An utterly stupid mod to compromise road safety like that. Mind you, a smack up the arse might teach something.

..........x2,well said Robin. :happy2:

No tinting of the rear lights will be done. Maybe some edition30/r32 lights at some point.
