how come nothing ends perfect?
I had my new wheels put on to the car today and some 90mm rear springs bought from dave a!! Speedlines and slammed to the floor!! ace!!
But............................... It does not look like 90mm on rear!! it was lower down on my old 60mm springs!! And the garage couldnt fit the centre caps for the wheels because the dust cap or summat is in the way and the cap wont fit on!!
Firstly how do you get around the problem with the centre caps not fitting on??
And is it just me or does it not look 90mm on rear???
Pictures aint good quality but will get better ones asap!

It is at the moment! it was lower on my old 60mm springs! I was looking foward to having it slammed at the rear!! But its no where near 90mm! and i cant imagine it settling that much more!

No the Speedlines are nicer. Just really simple and clean. Defo keep them and stick the centre caps on!
