ms123crownpimpmobile

got the tints done at xpert tints in takanini they done a great job $260 35% all round

Ok well I have never had nolathane in any of my cars so I don't actually know

Just heard they are good from a few people so I thought I would give them a try because all the bushes are perished and shit

Japawagons what are the downsides you reckon?

Hey guys it must be my stunt double!

I live in Papakura south auckland so generally cruising around south

Crown LyF

Yo car will remain at this height cheers for the feedback

Gets heaps of looks at pakn save (maternity parking lol)

Sweet yeah I'll keep that in mind aye

Replacing rear shocks this weekend

Also want to nolathane up front before wheel alignment where's the cheapest place???

Yeh just took out a pair of 14mm bolts out of the wheel arch that kept rubbing on the tyres

Has reduced heaps of guard rub so yeah happy now won't change a thing maybe bit lower in the rear

fronts are falcons cut to 325mm

but I would cut at 350 and let them settle down

rears are 99 mazda 626 springs

so I thought I had cut the springs just right but then they settled about 25 mm lower than I wanted

nevertheless, I went ahead with the planned road trip and it was mint on the open road.bit of guard rub entering driveways and speed bumps are a mish but handles way better than standard

next plan is to get some more falcon springs from pickapart and lift it up 25mm at the front

tinted windows to keep inside cool

put the new rear shocks in

fix shudder from take off probably service gearbox

find the rattle in the exhaust/all out new shit from extractors back!NZs quickest 5m crown?????

lowered

road tripping

slam

drove it down state highway27 to vegas was pretty good

had to adjust around town driveways are a mish

but yeh im going to get sum more falcon springs from pick apart to redo the front I want it 25mm higher so it will sit level.but yeah stoked

Yeh It was awesome!

till I realised how bad guard rub on slight corners would be

I intend on driving this thru twisty bits without issues so I didn't want it that low

Will put up pics when I get to laptop

That feeling when you cut to much off

Ok yeh third time lucky I hope

Gonna get into it now got rained off

how it sits with uncut falcon front springs

hey guys so bit of progress recently

have a few questions for you crown gurus

Q1 .have lowered the rear on 99 mazda 626 rear spings and its the hight I want except on one side its 15mm higher than the other

how can I fix this and why is it like that?

Q2.I want to use falcon springs up front they are much stiffer and would like to keep my originals as back up

.the standard crown front spring is 440mm

standard falcon spring is about 390.i fitted the falcon spring and dropped the jack was surprised to see it was at the exact same height lol

so few DAYS LATER I pulled it out cut off 45mm .now its 345 mm high spring almost 100mm less than standard crown spring,put it all back in drop the jack and its barely lower.

soim thinking im gonna have to cut like another 100mm of these falcon springs to get them to work but will I then have to shorten the shocks or will the standard hight shocks still be sweet?

Q3how much did you guys cut out of your factory springs to achieve low up front?

Q4 also the thing that joins to the lower arm with the bumpstop attached is max tightened right now

if I go lower how will this work?do I trim the rubber bushes on there so I can shorten the length and tighten it up?

all info is max helpful and appreciated cheers

new shocks all round kyb

Na wasn't me bro

ok so I am an exterior plasterer by trade but just keen diy type guy

so apoligies if I ask noob questions in advance

so once I drop front down on the trimmed coon springs I want to replace the shocks all around

where do you guys recommend for cheapness and what brand is good?

also cheap good tint places

I live in papakura south Auckland btw so around these ways would be choice
