It's Bilstein not GMaxx or some shitty cheap Ebay special.

Wheels didn't come today, so I'll have to fit them, and adjust the suspension, on Monday.
My theory is "wind them all the way down and work upwards." Should work

Also need to get the tape measure out, there's some doubters about the wheels fitting and I'm starting to get nervous
On the front, I need 29mm of free space on the inside and 9mm on the outside (so I might need so space them )
On the rear.... I need 25mm on the inside and 39mm on the outside.
I'm 99% certain they'll go....

I tried that yesterday with Corsa C SXI rims over my V6 brakes, wasn't sure if they would fit but I had already bought them.
Guess what? They did

Fitted. Had to fit the coilovers would all the way up, so it's only down 30mm, need to space the fronts by about 15mm to clear.
Looks awesome, but I've only got a few pics as the light faded fast.
