Where do I start...

Awful weekend. The weather was really bad, worst here in a while, was all ready for the show on Sunday and it was called off. Was the right decsion but still annoyed that couldn't get to it. Was really looking forward to it, think its getting rescheduled to another date though. But I've a few things I want to sort before then anyway so this will give me a bit of time. Off on holidays now next week though and I'm working everyday until then so I doubt i'll have out for another few weeks. Bad times.

Could be a lot worse though, only thing really holding me back is the weather and the fact I want to have it at a show before I start driving it anywhere. Hopefully when I do get this warlock out on the road it doesnt disappoint

Just back from holidays, so my new springs have arrived whilst I was away. The previous GAZ 6" rear springs weren't low enough, so tried my old FK rears, they helped a little but not sitting just quite right yet.

Ordered new GAZ 5" springs so should sit a little lower, hopefully not too low or I will revert back to the FK's. Got a feeling they will be a little stiff though, but when your running this low I don't think comfort plays much of a factor.

Will hopefully get a chance to get them fitted tomorrow.

Not sure tbh. The springs are quite high poundage so shouldn't settle much. Think Wilson is running around the same size of springs, mines will not look as low as I am only running 15's so Wilsons would still appear lower. That the theory anyway, will know better tomorrow.

Sorry Wilson forgot you were running rear coilovers, not sure who I am thinking on but I had someone in my head running 5" springs and 16's.

Should be lower tomorrow anyway.

Going to look awesome! Can't wait to see pics next week!
