Cheers dude. 60mm GMax springs at the front, 90mm at the rear Taking the extra weight out has really improved the stance imo. Loving it!! But, because it's raised the back the front has gone down a little.... the splitter catches like mad lol. But it's rubber and it bends so all good haha.
I'll let you know if i do decide to get rid of the cage, but tbh i dont think it will be any time soon. If it went it would have to be replaced by a proper cage, as when i took it out i hated the look of the car. Just looked so plain.

Cheers dude  lol
Like i said, Laguna splitters are rubber so they bend easy. So long as you put it on properly (two self tappers and 5 or 6 custom steel spacers with bolts, in my case) then it wont come off. I think my bumper would come off before the splitter lol.

No idea yet dude. Havent even looked tbh. The main things i want to do are:
1. Get the fibreglass door panels off my mate and fit them with my 106 door pockets
2. Get some buckets and harness'
3. Paint inside
4. Uprated shocks
5. VTS lump?
This all depends on money though. The VTS lump will more than likely have to wait a year

Everyone always said to get uprated shocks at that height dude. But the shocks that were on the car when i bought it lasted 2 and half years at that height before they died. Not bad imo. But they will be upgraded next year

To be honest mate mine was the same, it had gmax -60 springs on standard dampers for 6 years. But i must say uprating the dampers made a big difference......why your at it fit poly bushes etc etc

Well! What a fucking balls up haha. I am lame as.
Basically, got my fibreglass door cards. Went to fit them yesterday and as i origianlly thought i needed 106 door handles not just the surrounds. That's balls up number 1.
Balls up number 2! Fitted them today now that i have the handles and i must have had some sort of brain fook up and cut the wires for my tweeters (wasnt taking crossovers out incase i decided to fit them somewhere else) and just taped the ends up. But, this means my tunes sound shit now... never thought about altering the wiring lol.
Balls up number 3! Need some 106 door lock pin surrounds too. Being a right arse to lock it without them lol. So that will be yet another trip to the scrapyard. Had 4 trips already in the last few days.
I'll get some pictures up when i sort myself out haha. Too dark now. I blame my cold
