Hi All

thought i would post a picture of my dog Buddy, 8 year old staffy looked a bit off last week so off to the vet, found a tumor the size of a grapefruit in his stomach then also had to remove his spleen, nothing more he loves than drive so picked him up with a bit of style for the drive home from the vet. as you can see bit of a sook and loves his toys

Nice ute 8)

With you on the whitewalls mate...

Not sure on the impact or how much difference it'd have but im pretty sure the spring pads/sandwich plates usually go straight on top of the springs even with lowering blocks.

Depends what type you have Brodie, Laingy must have a small hole in his that sit straight on the locating pin, I have the other ones with a big hole that goes the way you said.

Looking very nice Laingy :D , Trev 8) .
