nice KHARE i'd also be interested in weight difference 

[Khare]

Sorry boys, got too excited and wheels went on without weighing them 

Don't worry I WILL find out. I've got to sort out a rattly exhaust now I've got a solid front mount on, so I'll weigh them soon.

Going to get tracking done on monday, and sometime next week I'll sort out the exhaust fouling on the rear axle.

On first impressions hockey puck engine mount is a massive upgrade. Yes there's a hell of a lot of noises now all over the car from being rattled, but engine is much more responsive when accelerating and changing gears.

Too soon to rate Falken FK452 tyres, they need to be scrubbed in.

They look really good

Cheers Wayne. Front looks high for some reason, but if I lower it any more on a bump I'd get the tyre rubbing the arch. Might raise the rear a tad to even it out.

I think spacers at the back would really look good too, get the tyre flush with the arch.

Sounds like a plan, 10mm would make a lot of difference.

What width and offset are they?
7.0" wide?
ET35?

I think with spacers they are going to rub your arches??

7" wide, not sure on ET, the paint was too thick around the numbers and I couldn't work it out, but 35 does ring a bell.

To be fair if I got spacers I'd not be allowed any tuck (not that I want any), because the wheels would definitely rub, they would now if I was lower. I think 10mm will be a good number, but no more than 15 I don't think. I'll have to get the measuring tape out and see, and look into rolling all 4 arches.
