Yeap that was them! I did lower it, my plan since owning the truck (had it about 4 1/2 years now)has been to do airride, so for the last couple of years iv been buying stuff up from the states and shipping it over, so my lowering job was temporary/a bit hory, but it did the trick! haha

I had cut springs in the front with shortened shocks, Rear was 2" blocks,Lowered Commodore springs and a shock relocation kit. Handled well considering how thrown together the kit was. but when I bring over parts I use 'kiwi shipping' , best to bring over a lot at once to make the most of it

Nice Job! Yea iv used kiwi shipping a few times over the years bringing in parts from the states for my R/T Charger, like you say its best to bring in a bit I found the customs duties and GST to be a major rip off, lately iv been bringing in smaller parts for the Charger and the C10 and its been turning up on my door step Be nice to go for a trip over there problem id see to many cars and parts and need a container to bring them home haha
Keep up the good work!

Re: Black 15x8 rallies

I did the base of the center cap also. I've been meaning to do the bolts but haven't yet

Re: Black 15x8 rallies

Those look great black with those centers. I've done that and the only thing I did different is I stripped the argent paint off the flange with the lug nut holes to expose the polished chrome.
