Hmm, i'm not quite sure.. Probably the rear lights....

hey erm, after i've added the alloys.. .. the driving feels abit different.. it's... more heavier? also the brakes arn't as good as use to be.. to be honest. the brakes were hard before.. because i have to press quite hard for an emergency stop.. but when i was driving other cars.. i just touch it a little and it's sharp? is this normal?...
Also, the ride feels little more bumpy? lol

Thanks

Probs just in my head.. lol... i had standard steel ones before lol..


Just my imagination probs lol.. but i'm sure it feells like harder than before.. just more bumpy . also it's more heavier! lol, need to press the gas pedal harder.... I'm just worried that i get told off by my had put putting thoose on if they didn't fit etc..
Beause when i add things to my car.. such as i told him i got aloys. he said why didn't i have standard ones before etc.. whats wrong with them etc.. and waste of money etc...
So.. i didn't want putting these alloys on have any disadvantages.

but the car is more stable i think .. just bump bump lol..

hahah lol, oh really? nothing to worry for me then! Lol,

just needed the brakes checked then thats perfect!

oh about the dude that said the flat arc look thing.. it's on there original.. lol.. just comes with the car :S...

oh, if i lower it by another 50mm.. it'll make it more bumpy? Lol.. also the back wheels scrapes the wheel when i go over a bump.. well, if i do like 25mph it does.. but if i take it slow it's al right!! so if i get it lowered more.. that means if i do 25mph over a bumb.. my arcs will come off?? lol
