cool thread, low low novas are (luckily) quite rare, i kinda like the way its not easy or cheap to do - keeps it that bit more special.. anyone dare'd airbags?? i wouldn't and it doesnt really 'suit' but, have a butchers at the vag/euro/cleaned boys and its tempting to do..
Sorry for swearing, lol.. might have to donate a piccy myself from my archives...
Untill looking at these pic's i had forgot how much i hate the ****ing POS.

that looks ****in mad!!
Seen this in Jan's Total Vaux, my favourite Nova at the moment, just looks immaculate. Has made me consider dropping down to 14's but don't think valver brakes would be big enough for me.Quote:

Would also be able to keep the V6 288mm brakes then with 15's so suppose its worth considering.Quote:

hmmmmm an intruder.
Get those stinkin torsion bars off this forum! Only kidding.
Lol
if i could turn back time and not have sat my nova outside the garage for someone to plow into it i would not intrude :thumb:
Not as low as some, Think its 60 on the rear, and on the front it just got wound right down on the coilies then raised enough so it moved and didnt scrub!!
