Sorry being useless ? Careful I'll get some rape spec cable ties onto you haha

But seriously looks sick massive improvement mate nice height

Haha, clearly Jack's cable ties weren't manly enough

Hey! i did... ummm... yeah i did nothing. ciders were good.

That was an ideal weekend for me: fiddling on cars with mates, drinking and the banter that goes with it

Next time, not to get so sunburnt...

yeah i think we all got roasted!
never thought id be copping flack for the manliness of my cable ties. what can i say, i just don't kidnap people often.

UPDATE

Massive thanks to Ed for kindly installing my coilovers, and to Jack, Ricco, Nigel, Dawsey, and Nick, mostly for standing around and being useless surprisingly they don't ride nearly as harsh as I thought they would, given I've gone from 4 and 5kg/mm with the Bilsteins to 6 and 8kg/mm with the BC BRs.

Super happy with the stance, and just need to get the bump steer correction kit in then it's off to get a final wheel alignment before I can enjoy it!

Pics?

Very nice !!!

Niiiice!

Good work fellas, looks hot Al

Small update:

Got some more G88 love and now have my bump steer correction kit and rear sway bar mount installed. Was an interesting drive down to the alignment shop as my front toe settings were farked (the best way to put it was my front wheels were not dissimilar to a classy lady performing a spread eagle )

Also some bad luck: saw a decent chunk of metal on the highway last minute and narrowly avoided hitting it from the front, but clipped it on the side - the result



On the plus side, at least that should be straight-forward to replace instead of the worse alternative of hitting and destroying my front lip. In any case, she's now a dream to drive again, was able to get away with -1.0 degrees of negative camber at the fronts (guards are pumped too).

More pics, why not

This thing looks the goods mate! So sexy!

Do you need a bump steer correction kit with CO's?

Thanks mate It's not an essential mod, but it's recommended if you're lowering your car and hence throwing your original steering geometry out of whack.

I'm no techo when it comes to this stuff so I'll just quote from the Whiteline website haha:

The Whiteline Bump Steer Correction Kit is designed to raise the front roll-centre geometry by using specially engineered ball-joints & tie rod ends while still maintaining original steering geometry. Front roll geometry actually encourages roll the lower you go. Testing proves that raising the front roll-centre resulted in a substantial increase to front roll resistance & a significant reduction in suspension compression of the outside front wheel during cornering (less roll). This improves weight distribution & maintains a better camber angle which ultimately improves front grip. The overall outcome is significantly reduced understeer through reduced front wheel compression as well as improved steering precision & vehicle stability.
