Lil update, it's been a while since I've had one so I recently got some new shocks which are "spax psx adjustable damping ones, because my fks were knocking like hell!, these ones don't knock and I can control how stiff I want them , also manage to find a guy who can make shorter droplinks so got some 20mm shorter ones To put less stress on the anti roll and may see a bit of handling improvement, ordering some smaller springs for the rear to get a little more tuck and sit flat when viewed side on, also got my wheels back on and got many pictures haha.
Shorter droplinks, also thicker for more strength, these are not fitted yet, awaiting on some anti roll bar cover bolts
Also got a stubby ariel from a mate
Some other random pics
Got a new sticker, coz I liked it and also got rid of the slammed sticker, looks much better
I think that's it for now, sorry haha, also my astra gsi fanblades are up for swaps if anyone's interested, pm me and il send you pictures and more info

Blimey that is stunning!!! Not normally a fan of silver cars but yours and Dans corsa b off here are sooo nice. Wheels suit it perfectly and agreed it will look alot better when the rears lower and its sits level from a side on view. Also i agree with everyone else, im not a fan of the upswept exhaust but its your car and you like it so stuff everyone else.lol

Thanks bud, yeah rear springs will finish the lowering off, I need to get a middle section of exhaust as flexy has gone so when I get one made up I'm going to change the tip to an oval style, this exhaust tips been funny and got millions of comments about it but its time to change it,

Not sure where it was coming from, but i think its the bottom bolt hole and rubber not being a good fit. but 2 of my mates have fks and they both knock aswell, its just an FK thing i guess.
The spax cost me 125 quid, and i absolutely love em, rate them so much!!

I have cheap fk coilovers on my car and atleast one of my rear dampers knocks or bangs if i hit a big bump. May have to upgrade the rear shocks if that will sort it. Fronts are fine for now.

Just dont do what i did on my old mk3 sport. That had adjustable spax dampers on it and because it was so low i decided that id stiffen it up so it didnt catch the exhaust on everything. It was like riding a lump of concrete.lol handled well though.
