Full car detailing for $129. Must be used before Dec '12.
Might be good if you're buying a used car..or selling yours (for an EVO ;) ) or generally like to have your car detailed.
Was thinking about posting in cheapskate thread..but its a WA only deal :)

Hi guys, just wanted to ask if you guys think its a good idea to lower my VRX and put on some new 18" tyres on them or not to lower it and maybe just go up one or two inches on the wheels?

What you guys reckon ?

I think you should definitely lower it and get bigger rims. As an example, if you look in my garage you will see a car with 18" rims that has not been lowered. If you look in Rahul's garage, his lancer is lowered with 18's. Similar rims too. If you don't want too much scrapage or lowering, get the Eibach Pro-Kit (Which is what Rahul has). If you want more of a lowered look get the Eibach Sportlines. :)

Well Springs will basically give the car a more aggresive look with less space in the wheel wells.... Performance wise well its not gna become an Evo overnight but will def help with jumpin into corner a lil harder and givin the car a bit more stability due to it havin a lower centre of gravity... of course with springs comes the risk of scrapage so if u want a very aggressive look u get really low springs like EIbach Sportline SPrings but this would of course cause lots of scrappage issues..... Eibach Prokit is the best of both worlds... of course i still do scrape on ceratin driveways so hau have to wary when driving all the time...

If you have a VRX you already have the stock 18" rims right?
I wouldn't get 'bigger' rims but I'd probably get wider ones.
And my car is on coilovers and I love them. If you actually 'drive' your car and don't just 'commute' in your car then go for it.

Also guys, double demerits this weekend :P

Oh I didn't see he had a VRX, in that case, stay with 18" rims Theo :P

As Rahul mentioned, lowering your car will mean it will have a lower centre of gravity and won't have as much body roll. Get wider and better tyres and you'll have more grip ;) I chose not to lower mine as I already scrape quite a bit on stock height!

Probably because it's exam period Pat. After exams I'll be keen for anything. Especially if it involves alcohol.
