13s are fine if you want to go super low 80-100mm drop

man walks into the doctors and says "doctor i have a 2ft hole in my bum)
doctor replies puzzled "hoe the hell have you done that son?"
the man shamefully replies "i got raped off an elephant"
the doctor says "but an elephants penis is long and thin"
the man dropped a tear and said "IT FINGERED ME FIRS"

40 wont damage the shocks but it will feel like a boat, 150 will buy you springs and shocks or theres coilovers on ebay at the minute for 140 or best offer so prob get them for 120-30,

Car looks good but needs a spoiler and lowered to look awesome
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

You can glue it on most people use tiger seal or if it has a backing plate it can be bolted on but backing plates are rareish now, spoiler shouldnt be that much check scrappys for one in your colour, save having to spray it

looks a clean base but imo would have colour coded bumpers and some static coilover lows ;)
