tire 10 Report post Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Yesterday I put Nathans old eibachs in the front of the wag along with a well priced pair of strut mates from centreline. The difference is massive when compared to the old 4cylinder king spring superlows. The eibachs are a good 20mm shorter and only just captive with spring pads and shortened shocks. Then I re-ziptied the iS lip on for Xteenth time. Need to get another bloody alignment now. Edited December 18, 2010 by tastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
