Dann_m Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Had the day off work today, got stuck into it early this morning, pulled the struts out and put the cut springs in, also replaced the front disc brake pads and rear shoes. chucked in the cut springs and lowerd it, finnally sits right. altho I'm still abit iffy on the height at the rear, i think the front sits perfect! but the rear mite need to come up just a bit. Going soon to pick up new tyres for my wanabes, they should be on this afternoon yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yeah, rear too low will factor in understeer. Still, they're easy to change and now you have the different options to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, they're easy to change and now you have the different options to try. yeah i figured that, the fronts have had about 1 and half - 2 coils cut off them, luckly it's the rears that i have to change not so much a pain it's like a 10minute job, so i'll pull them out measure to the stock ones i'll probably cut about 2 coils off.

LittleRedSpirit Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ah thanks mate should come in handy! :) Looking good mate. I like it that height, its about where I run mine. If bleeding the brakes made them feel better, try flushing out all the old fluid and going again with fresh stuff. Brake fluid only lasts about a year at the most installed in a car, after which point it becomes waterlogged with humindity from the atmosphere.

Brake fluid only lasts about a year at the most installed in a car, after which point it becomes waterlogged with humindity from the atmosphere. yeah that's the perfect height i was aiming for i couldnt be happier with it myself, i think the previous owner changed the brake fluid when they replaced the brake booster and cylinder. so yeah it's working fine now, should get stuck into painting it this weekend hopefully!. does anyone know a decent cheap exhaust shop around brisbane? cheapest i got quoted was 300 for 2inch with resonator and sports muffler all the way through with my extractors installed. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
