Firstly, Nice car! Always wanted a black one!
Secondly, I want some rims like those!
Im just not a massive fan of low profile tyres on non-lowered cars. But thats just a personal preference!

Lowering the car is on my to do list, but I'm still looking for the right set of springs. When the 480T left the factory there was more space between the tyre and wheelarch up front than in the rear. So I'm looking for a set of springs that will lower the car more up front than in the rear.
Only found one set yet: 45/30 lowering springs, but I'm so sure about it and it is kinda pricy at 200+ euro's.

Here in estonia I can get nice lowering springs for the car from sweden for about 115€. Had the same companys ones on my 700 series with stock shocks. Worked ok, nice comfy ride, but way better handling. Gave about 3cm lowering. Had nice progressive spring. You'll also need to mod your barnhard rod (I think they call it that) so the rear wheels sit nice and centered.

Yeh, the back looks fine. The arches at the front are just a little too roomy. I also like most of my cars to have their noses slightly lower, gives them a better stance i thinkhebruins wrote: So I'm looking for a set of springs that will lower the car more up front than in the rear.
