    We got the air ride struts and bags from the USA, even with the import charges it was still cheap. If youd like to know more just pm your email address and we'll have a chat about it. Does anyone know of another on air?

    Lots of black sealent + oil pick up = one ruined engine

    It took a few months to reck it but as we all know oil starvation aint good, Its not Gav's fault just unlucky for me. Was close to getting broken at the time, but decide to have a laugh with it and put it on air.

    I'm not up for this slammed to the ground look, but have to admit that USA red 850 looks great!

    here's quote from his project thread, sounds like it'd been rebuilt by someone before he got it

    My 850 AWD with 18" reps on. Standard AWD ride height but the front is probably a little high as I'd just dropped the jack after fitted them. They look a little small from that angle and with that ride height.

    Visually, 18's work well for me on 850s. It all depends on if you are willing / able to put up with the ride ( the ONLY tyres I have found to work on an 8 inch rim are 215 35 18 ). 225 35 rub and 225 40 are to tall.
    Just depends on what youre willing to compromise ..
