some Matrix Torques in 15inch, £465 with falken 195/45 from R-tech 
Gotta wait till either Friday or saturday to get em though  can't wait!
shouldn't really of bought em cause i can't really afford it at the mo but me front tyres were nearly bold, i had cracks in most of the tyre walls and a nail in one 
what do you lot think Couldn't bloody decide in the shop.... so i just picked these since they were under £500 ( my max! ) I was gonna get Monzas but apparantley they have stopped production for a couple of weeks. Prefer these n e way.

cheers MattyB
yeah headrests are still in, but i haven't secured them in yet hope i don't crash and get one implaed inma head 
yeah im planning on slamming it about 60mm gotta get a few other bits sorted first though - new exhaust system (scorpion), new bumpers (post 97).
still its beginning to take shape!
BTW i'm planning for a 2.0 lump to be dropped in cause my engine is no spring chicken n e more, what kind of suspension should i get - coilovers is what i was thinking, but can i get some to use for now with me 1.4 ready for when i get a 2.0 ?
