Paid a good price - not so much at all £180.00 for all 4. Also sold the Nimrods so they cost me less in the end - taking that into account.
Happy days.
Just ordered a K&N Air panel filter, and P-313
Crystal Black Side Repeaters
from Ecosse.

I have been thinking of dropping the front end by 32mm or so - not back. Had heard over steer is caused by lowering front & the back end. So dunno!?
Could look a bit odd just lowered at front end. Anyone got advice please? Be v much appreciated. Taa

Nice work
With the handling - lowering the front more than the back will result in less oversteer (in general), which is why a lot go for the nose down effect.
