Its like christmas here in the land of the long white cloud.




Rears in:



I was much too lazy to do the fronts today, so will post up pics etc when done. I was looking for around a 20mm ride height increase in the rear and a zero increase in the front. I measured and got exactly 20mm in the rear and after settling maybe 15mm so pretty spot-on. Will see about the front. The other thing I have noticed already is that the coils sit much nicer on the H&Rs with the dead coils doing their job nicely and sitting tidly inside each other instead of the horrible coil bind I was getting (the coils on the old springs were shiny from regularly contacting each other.) A 20mm increase from current ride heght still equals a 45-50mm drop from stock for those wondering why I wanted to go up - 60mm+ drop just too much.

Oh, 20mm is 3/4" 45-50mm is about 2" and 60-70mm 2 3/4"+ Keep forgetting I'm stateside over here.

should look nice man. Post some pics.

While I do LOVE the look you have accomplished with your car, I did think that it could have been a tad higher in the rear. just looked too low, especially with those beautiful new rims.

That's because the fronts aren't in yet and the car is filthy after driving over a long stretch of roadworks in the rain - need to jack the car up and waterblast all the lime and shit off it. Pics then. Be patient hah!
