M Night Shamalayan Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 13x7 yeah? What offset were those? Look so damn good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 13x7 Zero offset 175/50/13's and lowered with flipped leaves in the rear, and removed the spring spacer cone thing these have on the front struts at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Guess that's my project for the weekend then. I thought it'd be way worse with flipped leaves. That looks ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Do the fronts stay captive with that spacer removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Um... no, they certianly arnt not captive hehe To be honest flipped leaves can make them a little bouncy When pies was driving this back from OS Nats at Vagina Hill he went over a bump and the back end got air born, broke my brand new bottle of burbon in the making.

HighLUX Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Should work if you can get air shocks for an esky van. Takes a bit of trial and error to get the right PSI to make it ride nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can you even get airshocks for one of these? Sounds ideal. Will see how flipped leaves goes. Otherwise will just run bloxxxx if it's too rough on my sensitive botty. Anyone got a set of front arms lying around? Apparently one of mine is bent. Lolol.

M Night Shamalayan Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 So I rang Bee Jay's wreckers in Onekawa, and spoke to Ben. Helpful bloke, knew what I was looking for and went away to look for some front suspension arms for me. Said he was gonna ring back. Generally, if a wrecker doesnt ring you back it means they dont have the part you're looking for right? I just hate being that rude prick that rings up and asks again.

Shaz Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Sometimes we genuinely forget to call customers back or we write your number down on a scrap of paper and then lose it. I'd say give him one more day, try one more time politely and then give up if he still won't return your calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Just rang Suzibits too, to see if they had anything. When I told the dude it was a 1985 he chuckled and said it's way too old. Fml. Anyone good at custom making suspension arms? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 1st world problems of owning OS cars haha. Was trying to find a window for my hilux and one wrecker laughed and said try MOTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
