in the last few hours we have gained 4 members!  our family is growing bigger.  I guess zukiworld is being spread around the net faster and faster.  This is great.

P.S. any new people that want to leave you name and SN for any IM, we love to talk.

Those flares are exactly what I have been looking for in the states and nobody makes them. I would really like more information on that company if possible and see if they want to work out a import to the states deal.

Here's how I did it. I saw that it was powered by phpBB just like the SPEED Channel Insider Forum http://insider.speedtv.com/ I opened it and the Greek Forum in seperate windows and used "SPEED Insider" as a reference for the buttons and lines on the Greek Forum.

I think that the Greek company imports the flares from this UK company,not sure but at least the flares displayed are the same with mine.

Thanks.  Same to you by the way.  
I'll have tons of questions coming down the pipe since I ordered 1" coil spacers last month.  I have plans eventually for a suspension lift, but I need to get my feet wet mechanically before diving in.

 The flares are made by EGR in Australia. Suzuki here used to offer them as an accessory but no longer >:(. I've been trying to get some for my new 5 door but nobody in OZ stocks them. EGR export them all over the world, made to order only, min order qty is 50. You can get them in the US through JC Whitney $299.95 a set  http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&AID=10273849&productId=6207&TID=101&catalogId=10101&langId=-1&PID=673632
