I agree with that kit it would be hard to go lower. But thats why i didnt go for a JP kit. However most of those potholes you mentioned look like they could be avoided. Just drive slower ;-)

The car looks in great condition, though i am partial to Y32 Cedrics! I would go about changing the indicators/taillights though (red-clears on the ass, crystal corners, and crystal side indicators)

The later model Cedrics get clear front corner lights (they are the park lights for later model cars), but I believe its KT Projects that does the crystal corners. They show up on Upgarage and Yahoo every so often so just keep an eye out and just avoid going with the rainbow finish ones they are pretty bad

Side markers are all over Yahoo auctions. Dont think they are JP; i forgot the brand but you should find them pretty easy on Yahoo.

Taillights are by CrossRoads, but again, just look on Yahoo/Upgarage. A cheaper option is to get a later model taillight which is orange, clear, red, then pain the orange section with red tint, and pull them apart, remove the brake/indicator frosted section diffusers and polish the frosted clear bit. I did this on my car at first (and i will go back to these taillights since my red-clears melted in the fire

Im on 19x9.5 in the back and 19x8.5 in the front now... the wheels on the pictures were 18x10 rear and 18x9 front... but the old owner sold those wheels 2 weeks prior to me buying it...

heres an update of the car with the new 19inch workwheels...they are the only set i could find of Eurolines in the area so had to go 19 with a bit higher offset but it still looks good !

Normally i would say bags, but with a kit like that (JP is low as hell) i would suggest airbags.

Bummer you couldnt get better offsets, those wheels are hidden in the front-view! Maybe consider some bolton spacers to get the flush look again?

i allready put some 5 mm spacers all around but im considering 15 mm all around as a bolt on spacer like you said.. i guess that would make it better ?

Tell me the offsets of the current wheels and i can tell you how big of a spacer you should be looking at.
10" +20 is what is recommended in various mags for Y32 Ced/Glo; for 9.5" wide rims thats +14 offset
