Righty Hoodley the konis are on, will update on how they perform when ive had chance to test them, althought now i can say my front mudguards are taking a beating. cars a wee bit dirty waiting for the gritters to p155 off before i out the new wheels and tyres on.

Image

had to try a wheel and the new nuts :lol: dont look that low cos theres only this wheel on with a bigger tyre.

Image

and heres a few at my mates garage whilst putting them on. car feels lower when you can fit under a clio :lol: and you can tell the new ride height here.

Looks like an early laguna one without the holes.

Not keen on the extra lip.

managed to get the cusco brace fitted today, didnt think strut braces made much difference but at high speed the car appears to be more solid so quite chuffed but i guess i cant give propper judgement as they've been fitted so soon after the koni's.

the new rims make it look for "jdm" (y0!) were as the old wheels gave it a kinda "chav" look.

But i like it 100% more with the new rims :D
