Are you still on the original TPS sensors Sonny? Also, what were you running before and how many miles did you get out of 'em?

Look smashing Sonny but not so good you feel the need to finger the tyres...

Look forward to hearing how they handle when scrubbed in.

Just dropped relative off, so went for a bit of a detour, and now my 8mm spacers at the front rub too, will take them off tomorrow. Will pop over to AMD soon for a 4WLA and to have the suspension raised by 5mm, it will still look low and perfect.

I was thinking that as soon as I posted the pics :oops:


Iv just took the spacers off the front and have noticed there is a small internal screw at the apex of the inner wheel arch, if that was not there then it would not catch, bit of a stupid place to put a screw imo.
