Thanx! yeah I know... no money for the Teins at the moment... so will do a hillbilly for now and just cut out two coils on my stock springs... should be fine for a couple of months.

Same dude. when I saw them I knew I wanted them. thanx again.

and the tires are still drivable... more or less. hehe

still need to figure out what size to get... cause the 235 are nice and fat. but expensive too...

and I'm getting a set of stock springs end of the month. so it should be dropped in a week or two.
