just fixing the images for you fella... all done and looking good...

Did you say turbo diesel? Izusu or vaux lump? Looks good mate, the Gsi astra wheels don't look to bad on them, how low is it thou, guessing about 60mm drop?

does that not handle shit with corsa springs? would expect it to bottom out quite quickly?

no were near half as bad as my m8s green one when he bought it , it had cut springs in it and it was a ****ing joke to sit in has gmax springs and shocks all round now its still a little to hard to sit in but dosnt bounce all over the road

handles dead on lad the fronts a little bouncy and ive busted 2 sumps so yea bottoms out a little to much but its only got standard shocks going to try some gmax shocks and some other front springs the back is nice not bouncy and dropes down relly low when theres a few in the back

cheers for the comment fella
