Just went for the V-maxx kit, but think I might change the problematic rear shocks for KWs.

I was under the impression that the dodgy shocks were from the early production days and since been rectified. Or are people still having bushes failing?.....

Cheers, difference is night and day but if I was to start over again I would probably lower it first and then wheels. But ooh well what's done is done and I'm pretty pleased with it so far.

My bad :oops: but i will most likely be getting something a little more exotic for show season next year. Have a few types in mind, fifthteen52 tarmacs, rotiform nues or possibly corvette saw blades not sure!

Have decided to keep the splitter it's grew on me, the front bumper I got had a few scratches but no cracks on anything major so as long as yours is sturdy enough it should turn out great once painted. ;)
