im my opinion it'd look heaps better with a decent set of 19's with good tyres.. 19's should handle that sort of power FAR better than 20/22's.. not my car though so it's really none of my business.

nice ride anyway

Run a 10inch M/T full slick and get the most out of the transbrake unless your after DOT records.

So that would be the $3000 seeman "upgrade kit" .

Anymore of these kits left?

If you need to contact the original owner regarding mods, try Barwon Prison.

Still running the C10?
