New rims and spings

Postby Maniac » Tue Dec 20, 2005 5:51 pm

Ive only just got home after picking up my ride. Its just been lowered with tein springs (there so mint no bouncing around) and fitted with the latest alonso 02 rims that have only just come out.

My misses also got me a liquid filled boost gauge, my christmas's have all come at once :P :P :P :P :D :D :D :D

Give it a week. They've only just been put in today. Tein have said its a 45mm drop, so you can say around there give or take a few mm but anyway i spent the extra money on tein for comfort then bouncing around looking like a clown. Ive also had 45series tyres put on it for the same reason :D :D

Ask a few caldina owners why there binnig there G@y kings for better ones. 8)
