Re: oooooooh baby!

when i had the springs for candice, i bought them (like you have) and took them to shaun and he fitted em for £50, but thats being on mates rates... i very much doubt you'll have this problem but i got a phone call saying my front shocks were leaking so i ended up having to have new ones of them too!

can you put them springs on standard shocks on a GP? i know on the sei that if its anything lower than 40mm or so (which candice is) you're gonna need uprated shocks cos the standard ones cant handle it or summit.

50mm sounds like it would be a good drop... but youre gonna have to learn to slow down over speed bumps

aprrox 50mm though, cos of weight and stuff it'll probably only be around 30 at the back and 40 at the front..

Re: oooooooh baby!

Your wheels are still going to bulge out the arches due to them being the wrong offset
