Nice!!!

How does it handle now? Looking at doing the same thing, as I think the shocks are buggered in mine and it handles like a boat

That looks much better, well done

Although it looks lower than mine and yours has not settled yet so it will drop a bit more...............

wasnt it a few years of Dezza-Spec for you?

And (slightly) on the subject, I can score a set of superlows for my EF for $150, how much do you reckon shocks would be? I can fit them myself...

Massive improvment. Nice work. Whereabouts did you get it lowered?

i think they were called ultraride or something like that superlows allround.
im so happy with it right now with the handling only thing is getting used to going slower over speed humps, bumps etc.

i got it done at the same place as Dr Hemi i think his buisness was called jasons suspension.

They would be King Springs and Ultraride Shocks, Prob Super Lows front and Super Super (Ultra Lows) Rear

If you want shiny stockies.

Get some tyre black and paint the wheel not the tyre.

Then after you have coated the rims and they are touch dry go around and
tyre shine the rim and wheel.

Or you could respray them with 2pac semi gloss black.

Will look sik as when this is done, ATM it looks a little Ghetto pox.
