Hey mate, I can't get any of the pictures to work. Think it's because I'm not a member of that forum. Post the pictures up on this site, I'm interested to see this car! Jason.

Bluey_Rae, thanks mate, btw it should sit lower in the rear because i only got about $15 of fuel in it atm, so when i got a full tank of fuel, subs amps etc and ppl in the back should be pretty low, it doesnt look 2 low but when i was bolting the wheels on i couldnt get the jack under the front so i had just enoguh room at the rear 2 jack it up and put it on a stand so i could jack the front up

hmm... the only thing i dont like about the 18's is the way they show the rear drums.... disks look much better change the brakes, and paint the callipers red... will look awesome.. i did it to mine and it looks saweeet sittin on 16's coz i got VT SS front brakes and they fill the inside of the rim but i still love the 18's lol
