Coilovers on.. 1st impressions are pretty good, ride is smooth, if a little stiff in the rear, but my rear is stripped which never helps that, stiffness adjutment dosent seem to have much effect on the ride, but I need to play with it more as only done about 8 miles, also need to alter the ride height once its settled, as I have some reverse rake going on at the mo!

Reverse rake is probably why they are rather stiff at the rear.

You dont fancy keeping the standard wheels on it? I love stock VT wheels! 8)

Stuck a spare set of rims on as the stock rims where doing nothing for me!



Also painted my exhaust black as I hate the way they sit on EF's and it kinda hides it more.... need a right exit system really.



Painted and fitted my steering wheel, just need a horn push.

I think the CF10's look really good on this colour, I have a GL in the same colour and can get my hands on the same set of wheels pretty cheap! :lol:
