Look forward to seeing that wrap on the car. Not seen one up close on a car before.

Regarding slamming the car to the ground; my 2nd love is my 2000 Saab 9-3 turbo convertible which i have lowered 35mm on Konis. The ride is pretty hard (especially with the condition of our roads. If it's looks you're going for then little comes close to physically lowering the car but if you are looking for an increase in performance, you might like to custom drop it 10mm or so and replace rubber suspension bushes with poly. You'll get better response + feedback with less body roll.

Were these the ones on ebay and pistonheads recently mate?
I was watching them. I already have a set of buddy clubs but maybe Red_H would be interested.

Pneuma you got anything else for sale?

You've got to be joking! Time and a place! I agree, most cars look awesome slammed, but the ride quality suffers. I've lowered the Saab, my wife would kill me if i lowered her Jazz!

Ok So i wanna get some input from you guys as to which Recaro seats I should put into my car.

I have several.

All of which have been worked on to get them spot on, some have been repaired, re-upholstered and bolsters changed. etc.

RED RECARO SR DC2/EK9



BLACK RECARO SR DC2/EK9 (NOW SOLD) Was this a bad move on my part?



BLACK RECARO SR3



Or a Custom BLACK SR3 with DC2 RED Centres?



Please guys give me some input. Much appreciated.

I'd go with the black recaro with red stiching.....I take it you are getting them at a resonable price. Mind me asking how much?
