Danny G Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Hey peopletoday i got myself a little gls alfter much nagging and forceful words from my older brother telling me how cool it is to have a starlet... he drives an SR and is named JAG hmm....I couldnt find an SR so i settled for this GLS hulk (hulk because its green and im quite into bodybuilding )Right so today i ordered some clear side repeaters and fitted some ice blue sidelight bulbs. i get paid in a week or so then im after wheels and springs but im prety new to all this car stuff so i have no idea what brands are good in the wheel department so if anyone could give me the "lowdown" that would be much appriciated as i dont want to end up buying everything from halfrauds as you all seem to call it ha. also with the springs, if i just got SR springs would i need shocks? (do the SRs have diffrent shocks?) if i got a diffrent brand which ive seen on the net for about 100 such as like "spax" for example have no idea if there any good, but i take it i would need diffrent shocks with them???any help would be much wickid thanks and so hes the "import pictures.." oh i mean garage pictures from where i got it Quote
Mikey Jay Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Welcome to the club Looks like a nice lil' car you've got yourself there.Quite like the GLS's with the chrome details on the gauges and the door handles etcAs far as i know if you got SR springs (lower by 25mm I think) you can keep the standard shocksShall look forward to meeting you at the 'Medstone' meet next month Quote

Tahiti Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I believe the SR has different shocks from the factory, but the springs should be fine with your shocks (as long as they're not knackered).Nice looking car mate! Quote
