    Advice

    Having just lowered my k10 by about 2" all around I would definitely suggest some uprated shocks but I think whether or not you go for either gas or high performance shocks or just go for the k11 ones should be decided on how you want to drive and how comfy you want it.....I cut my springs to...

    The story of Toothless Mike

    Yeah, I think it's a good combo, I've actually grown to prefer the facelift bonnet with its lower front..... it looks ace with the preface grill and bumper......[emoji41] [emoji106] Still think the car looks like it's got an overbite though.....I'd love to do something to highlight the front...
