Yeah i know, but i cant afford to get wheels and stuff etc atm then save another $700 for springs,
i like my current wheels,
i might just get bolt on spacer 25mm as i like the current wheels! and rather low than new wheels
How much were your superlites - and how much camber you running?

Low before wheels, do dampers at the same time.
Don't put spacers on. Just save for some nice 14x7 and 8.

YEa well, id be happy just to lower it and leave it, but will look funny with my current wheels being inside the guard dont u think? thats why i wanted 25mm bolt on so i can just use my wheels i have now

I'm surprised these aren't more popular. Sweet looking cars
If I were you I'd extend the front lca's 20mm. better fitment and better handling :)

Need pics of new stance
Need bigger wheels because the new stance makes my 14's rub on the tie rods ends....
oh and I have already taken out the springs I had in the rear because the rear dropped like 10000000000000cm and the front like 3cm so it looked stupid... but will get the rear looking equal soon

Normally just a browser of these forums, until theres any real work on my ra65 notchback, but this caught my eye.
was this the super clean 65 for sale not long ago?
i studied graphic design at ttg too, maybe you saw my ra60 notchback at Croyden?
anyway, back on topic, good call on the re-silvering, also awaiting pics of low.
very clean car by the looks of it :)
