Brakes: Vlt front cailpers and slotted rotors all round Suspension: King spring ultra lows all round, and monroe shockies Wheels/Tyres: Standard vl calais rims, nice and polished, bridgestone 215/65-15s on the front and just cheap tyres on the rear.

IMGhttp://www.freeimagehosting.net/btsan/IMG then i got my p's and bought some 19" rims after a month or so, i was sick of it turning like a boat so i got my hands on some ultra low king springs, then found of the hard way turning into a driveway that i need my guards rolled. nice and clean for cruise for charity as expected police always want to have a good look! then recently i got my hands on some calais wheels wheel 8 of them let the polishing begin! after the endless polishing, we had some sick results! Picked up a borg worner 28 spline lsd, with a mini spool the other week for $250, although it had a broken axle, but after overhauling the diff, it was time to drop her in. As my car sits today Bloody police again! and again! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
