well they are set to the height he was rolling on. so it will be a good height for the first 10-15 then will settle at a stupidly low height. i pretty much for selfish and impractical/ learning purposes want to know what its like that low for a day or two. then when it comes to parking at work (which i know i can't that low) ill push them up to a practical height.

You say that now but after seeing how good it looks you won't want to lift it again haha. You just learn to drive differently.

haha yeah im afraid of that. however to be able to get into the carpark at work it will have to have some form of clearance, it will still be low but not crazy low...
parking on the street is not an option as Auburn is... less safe

Hire security to watch your car, being low is worth it


And your dead right Josh and love ur car man, look awesome

soo i picked up the coil overs today, but they didnt go in as we couldn't get the nuts off. i will have to chase someone down with a rattle gun.
hopefully get that done during the week or next weekend. ill get pics up when they go in

You can do it with a spanner and an allen key but a rattle gun definitely makes it easier. You don't even need to use spring compressors with a rattle gun

Thats a shame and Im really looking forward to seeing ur car low

yeah same! i was a little disappointed but I've waited this long, another week or two won't hurt... (I'm dying inside)

they are cleaner than the photo makes them look. ill give them a wipe down during the week. even though they'll get dirty immediately, i'd still like to see them go in clean looking.

They look good and such a bargain for $600! and yes a clean and pics of install would be sweet

Update:
second attempt at coil over install failed. I'm now going to have to pay someone.

but on a good note i finally got around to installing the Alcantara stuff:
fits perfect. but i don't want to do something like that again anytime soon!

How did the 2nd attempt at coil over install fail this time??. Surely the nuts came off this time

haha yeah fits perfecto! never come out either. I've been pretty rough with it, even on track day it never came loose.

i even got the jack stand in there to break it. soaked it in WD-40, breaker bar. nothing except some form of machinery will get my nuts off

I've now resorted to paying Jamie to change them for me at his work shop.
