Loving your boss' wheels on a mark 2 there, but I think yours will look smart as well.

Damn that looks good, a man needs sights like that now and then to stay barred up and keen. :D

Are your suspension modification rules the same as ours :?:

Changing the suspension is a mod that requires Low Volume Vehicle certification but taking the springs to the local spring maker and getting him to "recamber" them is a repair, no engineering input required. :D 8)

Only learned this recently while in at the "smithy" and a boy-racer type came in to pick up some real interesting looking springs, thought he was making a sculpture until he explained what they were for. :oops:
Some days you're the statue, other days the pigeon.
