Ben
Laser looks really good - I think you've done well with the mods you put on. XR4... nothing more to say than has been said already! Rob.. you should get commission for the amount of times that you have recommended Euro parts and the Eibachs! |

I also would recommend Euro-Parts for the Eibach's because firstly, the price.....so much cheaper than buying them in Oz, and secondly.....Euro-Parts gave me excellent service, the springs were delivered immediately after placing the order, I was emailed a couple of times on the progress of the order and the springs were delivered fairly quickly. |
