Default Just Slam IT!?

Hey all,

With the help of a guy Simmo off of here and the trusty people at wilkinson suspension i finally got my car where i want it minus the boot.

Day started off taking the side skirts off the car, bonnet vents foglight covers, orange little front bits. Dropping the car off at wilkinsons, me and simmo went and primed/painted my skirts, foggies, orange little crappy thingos. Got Car back from shop after getting the dba 650's fitted aswel, noticed it was rediculously low but it was set to excatly what i specified (little too excited i think, might get em readjusted :O). Fit the skirts back on, fog light covers on, orange little crappy things, decided to get a bit stealth, and painted my FMIC black and put on my ds2500's (looks sick). Sprayed calipers red.

ALl in all everything is on and looking an arseload better. Ill throw up some pics tomorrow (too dark when i finished) for sure of what it used to be and what it is now and gimmie some feed back

Big thanks to Brett from wilkinson suspension, Simmo definatley for painting all my shit and showing me brakepad installation and giving me some advice on ride height. "Just slam it" he says. Well simmo, its just scrappin hardcore now but looks the ducks nuts.

Thanks all,

Eric

Yeah, brett did listen. He listened to Simmo!

"Just SLAM IT!" Simmo said.

They were the last words i heard . Yeah Rich, they are the HSD HR $1499 coilovers that Balistic (Joe) supplied me with. VERY VERY please with them so far. Even as low as it is, the handling has improved 10 fold, ride is stiffer but still enjoyable (personally anyways)

Also a huge thanks to Joe, great product man, if you ever need a refrence (and i doubt you will) id be happy to confirm.

Eric

You must have been the lucky one ... The old Wilko just needs better communication skills and listen to what prospective customers want. I guess the younger boys "listen".


Eric: Nice work, cant wait to see the pics!!!
