If you are doing aftermarket springs. I would do S-Techs. Provides a perfect drop all around.



Your wheels are filthy! Get the TSIB brake pads!

i don't know the currency exchange rate, but i do know that i paid ~ US$350 for my s-techs + install. it was another $75 for four-wheel alignment, but i waited a month after to do that.

the house isn't mine, but i help pay the mortgage.

What!?! I have driven my car for 1-2 months without washing and the wheels do not even have half the amount of brake dust you have. Do you ever wash your wheels?
