the springs are just lowering springs, not adjustable, i made a mistake the spacers are h&r i cant remeber the springs name off top of my head,

as for price i swapped it for my passat so not really sure.

just a little more to add.

i refurbed the brakes, now before anyone says it one decal is upside down, but i had to go over the previous as they were lacqured in lol

i'll start with the brakes, i had the brembo decals from the previous owner, they had tried to refurb but the brakes had reacted, not a good sign for me haha

first action was to clean them with preclen, which started to melt the paint, so i left that, and hand sanded them and red scotched, and masked them up

then added the paint,

allowed to fry and added the decal,

LGIM0638.jpg


finally i clear coated them

then the wheels, didnt take pics of the process as it was a pain in the bum, they were very bad, tbh im not super happy, but they'll do till i change my mind on the colour.

speaking of colours, i went for a lighter silver that i mixed up out of the waste paints, this then gos a semi gloss clear, to be different,

now i still think black looks good, but like people say you loose something with it,

ill keep ya posted haha

the next thing to do is to get the old buffer out, give the car a good polish, as i needs it lol
