It can't be that bad is it?
It does look good though. It looks like it has the later T series in compared to the m in mine. Must have been one of the later K plate ones yours?
As for the suspension/wheels what size are the tires on the rims and what drop is there on those Gaz? I need to sort my suspension out on mine as with 17's on and a 40mm drop on mine with the family wife and 2 small kids it catches on the arches.
I'm wondering how the Gaz set up would do with my situation. Where did you get it from as well and at what cost?

I've still got the sunroof in at present so the headlining hides all that gubbins!
Yeah think that it was probably one of the first with the t-series.
The wheels are 16s and i think the tyres are 205 45..... But would have to check for definate.
Not too sure on the drop as never measured it as standard but the ride height in the pictures is 330mm from wheel centre to top of the wheel arch. The springs are for a track setup so it's a fair bit stiffer than normal. Think I may have to raise it a little from where it is now but I'll see how it goes.
Erm as for where i got them.....I got them through a friend so got a good discount

Cheers, was really please with how the wheels look on the car, they were from one of the coupe race cars so never really seen them fitted to a hatch before but think they suit it well!
