    prob should have adjusted it to the softest setting, even more so because you dont have a front do you? I would imagine that oversteer will be kickin your ass out quicker than you can say f*&k

    I have the 25mm and 28mm and was recomended that I make it soft, see how you go anyways

    . . . oh, and yes, they look very cool when the car is jacked up! A shame you cant see it whilst driving

    Cheers Alex mate! I was thinking of dropping it back down to the softest setting and leaving it like that for a while. At least until I get a front sway bar and hit the track

    Yeah, if only people could see it whilst driving behind..... I guess I could wind the coils up...... hahaha no!

    Little update, thanks to Alex I now have a nice set of old school mesh head Recaro seats







    They arent fitted, just trial fitting the passenger side to see how its going to fit up and how to mount the bloody thing!!

    Anyone got any ideas??

    I had this dilemna when I decided to change seats too James. Only way around it I could find was tailor made subframes. They should be available through Recaro, I'd imagine most of the Recaro seats have the same mounting pattern?

    I'd modify the lower half of the original to the recaro one. Depend on what the recaro frame is like of course.

    Just do it proper and make it nice and strong! No corner cutting!

    Update time!

    Had custom brackets with modified standard rails made up for the Recaros and rocked them for a few weeks. Very compfy and supportive!
    Then I decided I wanted the front and back to match so went out and bought front and rear black VR seats and wacked them in. Not as bolstered as the Recaros, but compfy none the less

    Been getting sick of losing my front lip every few days (this is the duckbil lip not the VR lip) so decided to cut it down which both looks better and is more practical for me now.

    BBS RS 001s went on a while ago, still yet to find centre caps for them but they will pop up soon Im sure! Got sick of the gold centres last night so did something about it. Rub back, good clean and a few coats of paint and clear coat and they came up a treat.







    Will get some more pics up this weekend, cars going in SA DOVW on Sunday

    The problem is mate, your wheels just look too damn small what with your tyres like balloons and your wheel arches mimicing 4x4's

    In all honesty I'm not sure I like that look, but good on you for the blue centres, I like those!!
