Hey guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster. :p

It's running Bilstein B8 Shocks (think ye guys in the US call them Sports) and H&R 35mm lowering springs. Thought it would lower it a bit more but the ride was great anyway.

Nice, the paint looks amazing. Needs a bit more of a drop, and then it will look great.

They are Schmidt modern line. 8 x 15 inch. They look very well - when clean! :p
Even though the offset was ET25 they still rubbed slightly on the inside front due to the wider rim, so I tried some spacers. Then realised my wheel bolts were too short so I ended up shaving a couple of mm off the strut and they were perfect after that. :)
