    I thought I would get the new wheels on then sort out the ride height, Its got uprated lowered springs on the front already but will need to drop a bit. Springs on the back are brand new and not settled in yet. Will drive it a bit then decide what it needs.

    Looks awesome! What is that chin spoiler taken from? I assume you've just modified one from something else to make it fit? :p

    I ordered it from the USA and it said it was from a Shelby mustang, It bolts straight on with no modification at all.

    Regards
