Krupkee Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 got some better pics with new camera: been working slowly on the suspension changing it to 4x110 and disc fronts, fronts of these are ridiculously hard to get the spring in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupkee Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 time for pics from holidays headgasket (hand for scale purposes): stripped paint off the wheels: tested said wheels: not happy with the front suspension with spring in, way to high and tight with spring in, did some measuring and can take a couple of coils out, will do that when i get my hands on some more stock springs, just in case lol pic of the rh suspension is with spring in, lh is with no spring. rh side spring seems to be pusshing down wayyy to much seems like with susp compressed a bit of camber i might get away with no flares stock vs new: speedo definitely will run slower lol gona be getting 155/65/13, if they fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
