Truenotch Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Only got one photo tonight, Telephone spec.Will hopefully get more photos of the other side when I do it/don't want to document my failure. Mint! How many mm did you chop out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Was supposed to be 50, somehow was a little different (say between 45-50). Will just have to ensure the other side is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 My guess is the thickness of the cut off disks would have taken a bit more off than what is left over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 ^This, but that included I still didn't take out quite the right amount. But thats alright. More progress tonight hopefully if I can burn off the horrible feeling that pizza gave me at lunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Also, workmates/wof inspector asking questions about lowering method. *pulls at collar* She'll be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 You can get away with 5-10mm difference because of those meke spring perches though eh? . Just tell your workmate that you found shorter struts from some non-existent subie... Something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Exactory, gonna have to get them semi close though I assume to be able to get the same pair of inserts to fit both. But yeah. Exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Spacers cut to fit in the bottom of each strut leg will be fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyfive Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Currently in talks with Autolign to get some inserts to suit, and making phonecalls to find the cheapest pair of 165/65-14's possible. Rust work to commence Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Looks a bit funny currently because of bigger front guards and wider front track. But hopefully 14's with 165's will make it look less silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have a pair of 1/2 worn (maybe a little more than 1/2) 165 65 14's you can have for being a GC.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Is that right.. I would be obliged to compensate you for them in some way? Box of alcohol of your choice at nats? Group tyre fitting session at nats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Also, I only have 3 of the silver 14' SSR's, and 4 of the Gold painted ones. My plan is to fit silver to one side and gold to the other for max LOLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Great success also. Have a pair of 'uprated' ae92 inserts due to arrive tomorrow morning. Will be speaking to an friend of mine tomorrow night about getting them shortened/spacers made. Beer is the currency of things right now.
