thanks bro!
wheels: XXR (cheap over here 390 total for all 4)
002 model 16x8. a little heavy at 16lbs each.

suspension:
BC coilvers
GT Spec front tie bar
GT Spec 4 point ladder bar
AWR end links (noisy! lol)
MSP/MP3 rear sway bar with matching subframe
GT Spec v-brace w/reinforcement panel
GT Spec upper rear strut bar
AWR rear trailing arms
Im sure I forgot some stuff. lol

and of course the camber and toe settings, which I do myself. the alignment on these cars cars is quite easy. theres only camber, and toe to adjust, no caster. so its really not hard at all. the rear is harder to do than the front.

In Aus you wouldn't go 2 days with a car like that before being defected, what are the laws over there? Is it illegal to have a car that low with wheels so much wider than stock?
well you guys can start a big meet using the right advertising and such. you guys have a big car following over there, and I think it would take off big time if you get the word out there.
I have to wait to watch that vid as Im at work right now and its blocked. shhh, dont tell Im here posting! lol
yea, we have some really bad roads here, and I know some will drive out of their way to avoid them. Others just drive over and scrape, not caring at all. lol I try and go slow over bumps of course, but if I know I'm going to hold up a line of cars, I will just pull over and wait till they pass. its just safer that way. after all, Im the one blocking cars, not them. lol
We do have laws regarding lowering here, but they arent as enforced as much as emission laws and running with no front plates. lol Police were giving tickets left and right at that meet for this.
One lowering law states the side skirt area of the car cannot be lower than the sidewall/rim and the bottom park of the wheel. Hard to explain. lol
Basically, if its on the ground, you might get hassled. Also, there are so many people with wide wheels that the police would be ticketing every other car. lol Some dealers even set up cars real low with widere wheel set ups. But I have had no trouble with either (yet).

found another pic from that meet.
