    Those fitments will be sick. Can't wait to see it.

    What brand adapters did you end up getting?
    Damn that's cheap. Oh well they're all assembled now, I just gave the heads a bit of a sand back to metal. It'll do as the wheels aren't perfect anyway.

    Hopefully have them on in time for GAF if I can get time off work and get the fenders rolled, tyres, caliper grinded etc.

    Ended up just buying some off dubstop imports as they were the cheapest I could find and don't seem too dodgy. Might buy some H&R next time I do an ECS order couldn't justify the cost of shipping on just a set of spacers. People on vortex seem to say the dubstop imports one are of good quality anyway so we'll see.

    Nice. If you go down I might come down with you. Get a little convoy going.

    If your going to grab some more H&R's I'll be in, the ones I have are superior quality but want wider.

    Can't relay any information on the front fitment but I run 9" ET20 on the rear and had permanent scraping of inner lip against spring. Just the way the spring was positioned specifically around the tower at that point I spose, your mileage may vary but just remember that it's a possibility you'll need to clear it with spacers or remove the helper springs for extra clearance (that's what did it for me).

    Then again I'm also on 17s and the increased diameter might've just put the rim closer to the suspension components!


    EDIT:

    Old photo but this is 9" +20 for comparisons sake

    Sounds good! Yeah man no worries probably will once I get them on and know for certain what sizes I want etc so if you can hold off for a bit we'll grab them together.

    Chucked the rears on and I had maybe 2cm of clearance from inner lip to coils so hopefully it'll still clear once tyres are on. Happy to run a few mm spacer in the rear. Hopefully they don't give me too many headaches. Fitment looks awesome man!

    Today on my way to my first shift at a new job the trusty vr decided to make some funny noises and lose power. By that I mean idle and rev funny. Power was dangerous, lucky i didn't get stuck on any hills. Exhaust sounded strange. Thinking maf sensor or something. Managed to get to and from work though. Also noticed a leak on the driveway... I have some problem solving to do.

    I notices the other day, I turned my ignition to 'on' to check my headlights. And then coolant was left on the driveway. But never leaked any at Amy other time. Or is your always leaking?

    I got the crack pipe and other problematic pieces all in good nick. But I guess Aaron would have put the billet parts in that car anyway?
