Nice man! I'l try take some pics if I can.

I'm not sure about the D2's for road use, my tein springs are about as hard as I'd want to go for a daily. If it not really gonna be a daily then go for it. I think the D2's are more than double as hard as my springs (depending on what springs rates u get).

Before deciding maybe try organize a ride in Brendans sx to see how they are.

Hi Rat ,good luck with this build,Hope you are able to keep it 'Budget',Its very hard with these RB's

On the D2's ,Any coilover is not great for daily,You cannot have good handling AND stock comfort,Its just impossible but the D2 coilovers are not bad ,I drove in Rudeboys car and i honestly did not feel that he had coilovers and when we were going 260km plus the car was sitting brilliantly on the road,So fit the coilovers i think

Oh and another thing,Ask questions and take peoples advise on this swop who have done it,You can get seriouslly burnt money wise if you do things wrong/twice like i did

Will follow this thread closely and good luck again RB FTW

Budget is really as cheap as we can make it without any shortcuts.

Stopped off in Durban on Wednesday and found this:

Gary MMSed me this, blame him for the crap quality.
