    They told me they where from a Jap import R32 GTR. A couple of scuffs on one rim but apart from that perfect. :thumbsup: :zlove:

    great buy, but to the people who suggested lowering....

    why when its so low standard as it is. I dont know about you guys but I'm sick of slowing down to a nearly complete stop driving into and out of my driveway and over big mother f#@KIN speed humps.

    Lowering I agree with Bigalracing that's why my front bar is split

    When I got bigger wheels, this is what my car looked like

    As you can see, it had the 'please lower me look' :) (being aussie delieved, may be naturally higher than j-spec ones)

    All it took was lowering it by 1 inch. Dont have to go too crazy with it. :zlove:

    I dont really get it actually

    The tyres are the same rolling diameter, so why does it look higher ??

    Optical illusion I spose ??

    After driving a commodore for years and this for 4 months, I still find it impossible to judge how far I need to drive into parking bays. The front dam is alway touching or just over the gutter.

    God knows how much of a mess I could make with an after market bar on a lowered car.

    A fibreglass one would last about 2 days at my current hit rate.

    I have the same problem at the moment, only had the car a couple of weeks..

    It's lowered and I always go too far and park just over the kerb :thumbsdown: haven't hit anything yet !!
    Just can't see the front of the bonnet...

    Was thinking of building some electronic warning device...

    Why don't you guys park with the rear to the kerb?

    you could try one of those reverse parking sensors

    but install it on the front bar instead
