okay here's a little run down of my current FTO GPX 95, most of these mods have been done for some time i'll just show you the pictures you all want to see :D

so first mod i did i think was replacing front left and right strut suspension back in may 2011. no pics sorry


next was coil over BC sport to be exact

before and after shot

i was really happy once i got it LOW :D stiff as F*ck to ;)

then i few months later i saved enough to buy me some rota grids 18x9.5 +20 all round ;) i wanted poke as you can probably tell
and yes you can fit 9.5's all round on the fto with having to pump or flare just roll the inner lip :) a little scrubbing on full lock but it doesn't bother me.

also running them on federal 225/40 highly rated tyre they say, lots of grip on dry and even on the wet :)

some pics for y'all

so at the moment that's how it's sitting, this last week i just purchased a set of mitsubishi front slotted rotor's, ultra racing front strut bar and face lift front bar

Front bar

and brake's and strut brace

that's where i'm up to at the moment, waiting for july 8th so i can put them all on 8)

Looking really good ;)
How come the rotors have so many stud holes?

I would assume theyre a standard fit for different stud patterns perhaps.

Pretty much everything they sell is crap and does not fit properly, only good thing from them is the bonnets.

Carmates stuff is alright, just needs a bit of prep work!

Yes. But that is word of mouth. Have you had any carmate stuff on your car?

I have. I've had a veilside and it fit pretty well.

Im sure he shouldn't have a problem with a standard facelift bumper, considering it would of been easy to take a mould from a genuine bar.

Rather than a veilside or HKS, which are rare and most likely copies after copies.

Only time will tell.

I bought the "Factory Facelift" one from them for my old FTO, was a horrible fit. A few of my mates have also bought from them (not FTO's) and they also did not fit correctly.
