arent ke30/55 lca longer than the ke70 ones and give like -2 degree of camber?

Hey blzbub666 hows the white walls going mate?

 

Still Researching the Hilux Shocks, I know its Single Cab 4wd but not to sure if its 4th gen or 5th gen.

 

Front shocks are killing me and I'm not keen for the whole conversion. I'll phone around tomorrow see what I can uncover!

 

I'm going about 110mm - 120mm from the jack up spots( lowest part of the car ).

 

Cheers

 

white walls peeled off, ordered the proper paint today. :bash:

 

Pretty sure you'll be barking up a tree but if you do uncover a short stroke that fits standards you'll make a lot of people on here very happy :y:

Evan G - Yea mate , corona's xt130 do the same but are easier to find tho.

 

blzbub666 - Probally wont find a short stroke but might find a shock that fits and a little bit taller which may help :dance:

So did the rear springs today , went all smooth and really fast

then decided it to do the front , HOLY SHIT! I looked at it and relised it wasnt a quick job!

From my point of view I have to unbolt the Tie-rod, Tension brace , low control arm , steering arm, top hat , not even sure what I have to do with the brake lines!

Anyone got a easier way ? and I'm not cutting the spring while its still on the strut!

 

Cheers

Cut it in the strut. Easy. Just cut 4/5 the way through then hit it with a hammer. :yes:

 

I did all 4 of mine like that.

+1!!! cut a small slit in the brake line holder and bend the bracket so you can remove the line!

haha ok i'll try it...I'm doing 2 coils, as it gets close to through i'll hit with a hammer, then try work it off the strut!

So done the front today was actually easy

Tomorrow clean up a couple of things and maybe a lick of paint on Wednesday depending on weather and how much beer I have consumed before 10am :yes:

 

Here's some pics

Please excuse here fat ass

 

Cheers

It can be a bit tricky, i found the best way was to use an older worn disk thats smaller.

 

Sketchy if the spring gives way and grabs the blade. Eye protection is a must. :o

Hahaha yea had protective glass's on an some welding gloves??

Probally 1 of the most ghetto mods you could do :laff:

I love these forums man, so much moar Ghetto than the 31 forums :P

 

Nice car you have coming along here man, just wondering if the height its at in pics above are what your aiming for? Still reckon you can go lower ;)

 

You could also be coo like Reed and a few other Rollers and rattle can your car to coolness? :cool:

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

How weird is the first pic! is going to look pretty similar to my car, when I saw it I was like hell its my car from the future!

Hey guys

 

Was stripping down the car today and wanted to know how I get that chrome trim above the doors off?

 

Cheers

shouldn't it just slide off or gently lift the bottom edge off with a screwdriver and then work it off, if you don't intend to use them again just rip it off
