best just getting springs, and shocks, you can buy 100mm springs, coilovers are a tight fit i think on the rear turrets and your tyre walls, springs are just as good.
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)

I would be upset if you put them on this season dude yea to be honest. Save it for next year or be original and find another set of steelies.

Not good to copy, do you're own thing, plenty steelies out there mate
