Hmm. So you think it looks better with a little forward rake? I'm just not sure what looks better yet. The old man and my uncle reckon it looks better with the rear up a little.

Yeah the handling improvement is just fantastic. The suspension is just better than standard in every way.

Bump steer is more caused by your steering geometry when you lower it. It's hard to explain without using my hands or a picture. Look it up on the internet. :)

Yeah for sure. In my experience, the less attention you get from behind is better as that is usualy where Mr Plod sits, not that yours wouldn't be legal. It looks especialy better when you have bigger wheels on. There was a great set of wheels on ebay a while ago that would have looked like porn on the caddy, but I told someone else and he got them. The LM style wheel that came wit the new TT.

Hurry up and colour code the front already!

Yeah something with Y spokes and with dish would look good i think.

Colour coding... Hmmm, Do you want to pay for it? :D I'm unsure. I'd like to see another one done to get an idea. Or maybe like i said some photoshop whizz could do it to one of my pics. I'm just worried it would be too much red.

What do I look like, a money tree? lol

I'd do a photoshop for you but my photoshop skills leave a lot to be desired. Red bumper with blackened headlights would look porn on the caddy IMO.

What about just getting some dye' or other product and just make the bumpers black?

And I understand your wheels position as well, still wouldn't hurt to keep your eyes of for a nice set of reasonably priced wheels, you can keep until the time comes to replace the tires :)

If the right ones come along, for the right price, i'll snatch them up. But i'm in no hurry. :)

Dyeing the bumpers? NOOOOOO! bad move. Paint them or leave them.

Yeah i'll have to throw out a request i think..

I've seen a racing Caddy and it had blackened headlights. Looked menacing.

17s would be the shizznits... if you still wanna cart stuff around in it, 18s... much too low profile. damn, you should have gotten onto mischa's gt classix. i reckon they'd look the business.

also, cutting a hole in the van part of the roof, and having naked girls dance out of it. that would also be the sh*t
