Apex Springs & Kyb Shocks
That's right my next mod has been added, a set of new front and back lowering springs, with new front and back KYB Excel-G Shock absorbers.
The road handling is amazing, feels a lot more solid and has also quietned the noises I had coming from the rear end, I am really impressed, the car feels so much better, not as bumpy and rides like a new car.
For anyone thinking of getting this done, I can only say go out and order your Apex springs now.
And here is my FTO with the Apex springs ready on the drive, looks realy good.
Car looks amazing, lowered by 30mm, front and back, as the car sits quite low you can only see the yellow springs in the rear wings section.

Leather Retrim @ Precision Trimming
Well I finally had the car retrimmed in leather, front and back seats, head lining, front kick plates and the front and back door cards, so the car looks amazing.
The front Seats and the Dashboard
Front and Back seats
It's dark in there, but looks so smooth. The finish feels as if it was meant to be, notice the silver stick matches the silver chrome fixtures on the dashboard and centre console, even the stereo is blending into the chrome theme, a realy impresive finish.
A big well done to Brett Wandsworth at Precision Trimming, thanks for a job well done !!!
