But didn't finish today. Didn't have the right tools and had a few beers whilst doing it so couldn't drive to get them and was running out of light

But on the upside is the rears are all done Here's pics of the monster truck rear before







And after fitting





Happy with the way it sits now. Not sure if coilovers settle a bit more but meh.

Fronts are to do tomorrow so will get good pics up once its done

Not worth spending 2k on wheels unless you have a car worth spending it on

I bought the car off my mum so it was cheap. It's actually quite practical having 5 doors, but thats the only reason i have 5 doors.

Were you expecting some cheap suspension stuff firestate?
