Got my goodyear eagle f1's fitted yesterday after handing over £235 and im really really impressed with them, grip well wet and dry.
Now all it needs is to be slammed.
Sorry about the crap picture, it was taken through a window.

nope, cash is a issue, if i had all the cash in the world it would be in the body shop getting everything done but i have to choose what i need first, ie tyres before i can lower it because they were 55's either a fully smooth boot will be next or a semi smooth boot

Nice car mate
get fiberglass extended bonnet sprayed
get lowering kit
sort the tailgate out
get the arches done
get alloys sprayed either white or black with centre caps off
get it xe'd
so much to do, so little cash
Im unsure wether or not to de strip it as my last red car had lots of problems after that, i could never get the paint to match

Can be a bitch, mine isn't completly perfect on one side but still looks good. I took mine off and won't go back to strips.

I really want to, hopefully i might be able to get them tomorrow, but i want the tracking done quickly as there brand new tyres.
what should i get the tracking set to with around a -60 drop, -1 or -2?

Camber is important too. If it dont have adjustment for the camber on the struts i think you can use special top mounts dave a sells

got any pictures of this, i would get the tracking and camber done at the same time, and i remeber when being lowerd you need to go minus, but maybe minus 2 is abit much

I brought a bilstein b10 kit instead...and im very impressed with it (60mm front and 40mm back)...but i wish i had adjustables just for the fact that can tweak them up if any rubbing accords...which does on mine depending on the tyres fitted on the front
