kyteler Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Cutting discs are cheap. Makita one ways should do alright. I didn't say that though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanketman Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hahah yeah I've had experience with good ol Makita one ways. And yeah not too keen to go down that road for this car. I like it a bit too much. And would like it to kind of handle haha. Yeah I bought some rego today. Most money I have spent on the car so far the bloody rego 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Don't confuse Makita one ways for a shit job. Anything can be done well with just the right amount taken off just the right selected spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakotom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 What does the suspension look like in these? I've got some coilovers off some Honda kicking about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanketman Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'll eventually get some better rims for it but for now the ogs are fine. They were just taking up room so they're better on the car, but they definitely aren't the ideal rim. I can't find any pics online of the suspension but I'll be pulling it out soon enough to measure etc and I'll put some pics up see if they're anything close. Anyone had any experience with custom springs in Auckland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
