Hit me with a price Sam. I believe they're standard shocks, but they are lowering springs... Just not as low as yours. How much do yours lower incidentally?

about 50mm drop. have a look at the pictures in my thread when i lowered it, i did before and after pics using my fingers as a gauge. to you bud £100 what i payed. they handle so nice too.

actually bud,, as its you. pop over to mine and ill help you fit them and fit yours to mine for £50

Sounds like an offer I can't refuse... Unless my new backbox hangs too low When were you thinking of doing a swap? Shame there wouldn't be enough time before Japfest.

Are they currently on the car or have you removed them already?

Ahh jobby Sam. Searching through your profile thread for the lowered pictures I randomly selected page 5 to start searching. It's probably not the best selling picture waiting for me at the top... Page 5

Incidentally, how high was that gate stop?

[honda-hardy]

they are on the car nath, the car is on my drive and is not insured, so no japfest swap will take place rob my bolts are easy to undo, but if we did do the swap i would like for you to try and undo the lower rear bolts to see if they are stuck in the bushes. also iirc the brake pipes are also attached to the strutts, so check them too. as for when, when ever you are available. day fri sat or sun is ok with me, but not this fri sat or sun though.

while your at mine.... how bad is your wing mirror? i think i could fix the case while you are at mine too. fibreglass and gel-coat are to hand.



and as for the gate stop its 4 inches i believe.

[NafemanNathan]

4" inches? Tiny then! ... Oh no wait!

Yeah I appreciate what you're saying about the lower bolts. Mine don't have any hose bolts though. I've got the braided hoses, so they don't have the brackets.

Are you able to measure the distance between the ground and say the sump, so I've got a reference to compare to mine? I've got a fair few common "high" areas I need to drive over, including the top of my drive and my parents, so I'd like to know for sure I wouldn't be screwing myself over before I commit

[honda-hardy]

i am now running "17 tyres so i would need to know what hight from floor to top of the tyre you have, also what height your front jacking point is from the floor. i will measure my tyres and jacking point and we shall do a comparison. bearing in mind when i hit the gate stop my car was at its lowest runing 185/60 14, what are you running?

[NafemanNathan]

If you just measure from the ground up to your centre caps front and back and from the ground up to the front and rear tow hooks (underside) that'd be enough.

looking mighty fine sir, i would like another 3rd myself.
