They're exactly the same kit as i had and that was terrible. Worst thing i ever did to my car! And they only stopped on a week, they were shit.
Sorry to sound negative dude. I'm sure you're car's gonna look nice, but i'd seriously talk to AlexB or LeeVTR if you want the kit to work as they have some experience

cheers for clearing that up thought i was right. As far as i was aware v-maxx, raceland and afew others are all the same more or less maybe slightly different dampers. The dampers are to long and the springs to soft for going low. Again not meaning to sound negative but they can cause some serious damage, heard alot of people end up with domed topmounts amoungst other problems.
Also what make tyres are they? Dont look very stretched but depends on who made them i suppose. Just from the pictures (maybe be totally different in reality) the backs dont look as if the inside/rear face of the tyre is stretched to the outer lip? also the front look abit dodgy, the wheel looks to have abit of camber and the tyre to be straight.
What psi you running in them? You got any pics of them from above before they went on the car?
Also im guessing ur using 20mm adaptors aswell? Normally with wide wheels u stagger (sp) the back out more than the front, so i would get 5mm taking off the back face of the front spacers to pull them in slightly. Not gonna make a huge difference but its the safest u can get away with!
