Few pictures of before and after. Can't say how much better the car sits and looks with those spacers on. Need to doing sole driving around to get the suspension settles back after jacking it up, but defo going to need some lowered springs now, however I think tyres are on the agenda first

I know, proper poop on the fronts aren't they. Clive has given me his finding on tyres suited for the road and track, I'm a but unsure about the semi slicks for my cars use.

Falken 912s I think he recommends.

Or azenis?? Which are extremely good in the wet, I know how good they are as he took me around oulton park in the soaking wet and they were amazing, but he says they're very pricey
