-35mm springs fitted today + PICS!
« on: 29 February 2012, 21:09 »
Fitted my springs today, 35mm jamex to standard shocks.

I must say, what an improvement!!!! I read on here people complaining about ride, handling etc but I have been for a good run today on a variety of roads and it is far better. Strange???

Pics to follow.
