Falken_KE30 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Just got my leaf springs reset for the KE55.. asked for a 2" drop and one leaf add in to make 5 a pack. Got them home today, put them in and its only dropped by 1" its still 4wd style :P And they did cost a pretty penny to get done :hmm: Now will they "set" into place over a few days? will i get my extra 1" i paid for? Or should i be ringing them up and complain? Cheers Edited May 8, 2009 by Falken_KE30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'd be giving them a call and asking what the go is. From what i know the leaves would set that extra 1" in a few years or so, not in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 what did they slug ya for resetting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchy Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Did you move the car before tightening it all up?? It should settle after a single run around the block. Also if they rest them, THEN put the extra leaf in it might hold it higher. They should know thier shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falken_KE30 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 yeap, i took it for a drive, the double checked all the nuts. I got a Added leaf put in so you would think they would compensate the extra stiffness? Ryan, got slogged $240 for them to pull down, blast them clean add a Leaf, reset and paint Black.

SLO-030 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 they'll usually pull them down, reset them, then set another (extra) leaf to suit. you do know i probably could have got you brand newies + post for probably not much more than what they slugged ya :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falken_KE30 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 yeah i wanted to pass on the lowering blocks, hence why i thought i could get them reset low. Ohwell, it don't look so high now the front is dropped 2" :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedKE30 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 yea same, but had no choice. with all my suspension work, its the best handling car I have ever owned. Are you kidding me? A car with flipped leaves is the best handling car you've ever owned? My KE30 had flipped leaves and it was terrible. Have you been driving magnas for most of your life?

SLO-030 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 flipped leaves AND lowering blocks? handling? hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falken_KE30 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Mine handles ok, but i go shit tyres on rear, and it really needs new front shocks. one of mine is leaking :P But yeah its alot better to drive it hard though corners, but bumps suck. Considering selling it soon anyway... Make way for a Bigger car :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
