Soft! Some of us will be up much later than 3am, but we'll be p****d.
You dont need compressors for the back. And if you are going supers on the front, you probably dont need compressors either. Body weight should be enough to get them on. And you will need external sprint compressors, not internal. |

Thanks arm, do u think i need to bother with shocks? and just go springs?...
Or is it worth getting some aftermarket shocks? A few people have told me they pretty much do nothing...

If you're going supers with standard shocks, chances are the ride will be rough and a bit bouncy. Depends how much you can tolerate.

Yeah not so keen on rough and bouncy.. it will still be pretty rough with or without shocks im guessing, but I might as well get them then...
Recomend just getting stuff of Ebay from the power sellers? looks pretty Legit... Could get king springs all round for 260 + shocks 2 sets for 300, total 560.. thats alright... considering they are Monroe shocks too..

Hmmm thats close... Gas tank is 70L so thats 70Kilo's + however much the tank weighs...
That will weigh less than what you have in the car in that picture, however if i where to have luggage and passangers.... = LOW lol...
