jaygore Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 ok well i got a quote from a local place to have it lowered 2 inches which is going to cost me $600, is this reasonable or a bit steep? I will go around to a few other places first and see if I can get it cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Depends how they do it. Once you throw I. A set of springs, re set the rear leaves (provided they aren't just resetting the front springs and throwing blocks in the rear) then add labor costs it's about what I would expect to pay to have someone lower a car.

jaygore Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 sweeeet, well is 2 inches to much?? or should I only go 1 inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXY-642 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 do you know how they are getting it to the 2" lower? 2" is normally a nice height on most cars. just remember how old the car is, the suspension may already be sitting 1" lower then standard due to sagging over the years. i bought 1" lower front springs for one of my old ke36's and it looked standard height.

jaygore Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yea not to sure, but my car seems to have fresh springs in the front, as it has ke70 gear.... And my car sits way to freaking high at the moment, so dropping it 2 inches should be a sweet height i recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Parrot: This Maffra St. Wreckers is so shifty, it's not funny. Like I posted earlier, Engines in Pieces Dripping Oil and Fluid, and Gearboxs Apart and Stuffed. There's about 100 Holdens, 100 Fords, 100 Toyotas, and so on. :lolcry: Josh :cool: I am so going there! Seriously Jaygore, you should buy a manual and have a go at fitting this stuff yourself, you will save a fortune, and it isn't hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygore Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yea usually I would do something like this myself, but I was in hospital again all most of this week, so that is just making things just a little bit harder for me :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT036 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I am so going there! It's in Maffra St in Coolaroo. Google it and you'll find it. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the other side of the fence, so see people stuck in hospital all the time. I reckon if it ever happens to me, I would be in there with all my manuals and books, planning my builds! And make sure I had a wireless internet connection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaygore Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Bought a tacho... However I have no bloody idea on how to hook the thing up.... I am no electrician :( and my dad recons it has more wires than a normal tacho... so Now I'm confused Also I want to get some LEDS for my dash as I'm sick of the dull light :( but when I went to Jaycar they didnt have anything that would fit into the KE20 dash lights. Is there anywhere online where I can buy some?? or what have others used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you didn't get a manual with your tacho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygore Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yea all it has is the coloured wires and what it should connect to I recon I'm right with all of them except for the RPM signal wire...
