fuel tanks leaking from the last owner. . . its from the seam so not to bad just cant fill the tank but will be changed asap

hit a curb going round a corner and bent the drivers side wheel under the car :/ so the old ones in the scrap yard in the sky now

yea dude go 60mm all round it makes a significant difference in the looks, and 40 is ok, but cant really tell that much.

60mm is best mate, I did mine 40 and straight away wanted to go 60 as I couldn't really tell it was lowered! Looks like a good base to start with :)

yeah 60mm, 40mms are pointless.

as long as the shell its self is mint then its good.
