   after some pics of a saxo lowered 35mm, doesn't matter on rim size just wanna see how low it looks..
   
   Wondering wether or not to go 55mm now, seen a sax on here (black VTS) lowered 50mm on 17's and it looks fuckin sweet..
   
   So pics of 35mm would be great..

   You don't need to be a Premium member to post a pic, just put it up on photobucket or some other hosting site and copy the link location. If that makes sense.

    Lol.
    
    With suspension, go at least 40mm & two splines on back. Plus don't skimp on it, get shocks too! It'll save labour costs in the long run! If u intend to keep the car that is.
    
    Tell me about the money situation. Ebay all the way!

    Cheers dude
    
    Right then. Go to:
    
    http://www.photobucket.com
    
    Register, then upload pics off ur computer. May take a while if they're large in size, so it is sometimes best to compress them a little using some sort of photo suite.
    
    U can only upload 1 at a time, but once their done, they will appear on ur photobucket account with a URL below them. This is their web location. Copy this URL location using the right mouse button.
    
    When making a post, use the yellow "insert image" icon in the tool bar. A box will appear when the icon is clicked, which u need to paste the URL in, again using the right mouse button. Click OK. And a long IMG script should appear in ur message. Do not alter this. If u want to write more, go to the end of the script and click enter, then continue writing.
    
    Hope that help's. Now, get some pics of ur moter up !
