81grande Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 iv got an old gx61 want to lower it. can i just chop the springs (heard its a rough ride?) or do i need to get a lowering kit. also when making very tight turns eg. u turns. theres a vibrating sound coming from the wheels any ideas what it is, sounds ugly. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 i cut the springs in my gx61 and it rides fine, you need to take about 2 coils out of each from memory. You can buy lowering kits on yahoo japan but i am yet to find an off the shelf lowering kit over here. You could always get custom springs, about $220 a pair i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 my rx60 had spring axed 2 and a half coils on rear and 1 and a half on front i thinkand it was a bit bumpy but i sliced bumpstops in half on back an it was perfect after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81grande Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 sweet cheers. any ideas on the vibrating noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 A vibrating noise is pretty universal tbh. http://file048a.bebo.com/16/large/2009/ ... 39348l.jpg ^That's 2 coils from the front and 1.5 from the rear. it's quite level to within 5mm but doesnt look it in that photo for some reason. and that's on 185/60 R14s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 81grande is mildly on the look out for some sweet rims for the car too I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have none to share , hit up garagedori, though whenever wheels are for sale there they want quite a lot for them... ^That's 2 coils from the front and 1.5 from the rear. it's quite level to within 5mm but doesnt look it in that photo for some reason. and that's on 185/60 R14s Sills are approx. 105mm behind the front wheels and 110mm in front of the rears. Exhaust however hangs a lot lower but that doesn't count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leebo3 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Mine are globes. I think that 12 slots would look at home on the GX61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You kidding eh? Not sure 13"s would fit over the brakes either, seeing as they have 14"s standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
