Mat, could you compile that into a Infobase thread?  Its very usefull info.  Even if you just copy that main post with pricing etc. into the infobase as a new thread it'll help alot of people.

Thanks

yeah interesting little saga that!

You certainly had to do a lot to get it there!

I notice they replaced the shocks?
What with?????

Jw

[doggystyle]

at least you dont have rwc it every 6 months.. thats the one thing i loved about oz.. well and some other things

[turbocab]

ditto
what shockies did you replace with are they any good as ile need to replace mine some time in the near future

turbocab, i got some rear lowered king springs.

Just gotta find some fronts, when i get motivated, i'll look for a serial number etc for you (or i could lend them to you and you get duplicates made  ;) )

They are the ants pants... but yeah what shocks!

[turbocab]

i think i have to get lower profile tyres and leave the springs at their full length they scrape in the guards something nasty when hooking in to tight corners
i also bottom out over speed humps and shit
shocks are shagged

[city_cabriolet]

Yeah that's your crappy shocks

These things are tighter than standard, so keep the car flatter around corners. With 13' tyres, there's no way you should be scraping... even with a 2' drop!

[turbocab]

ile put it down in part to the giant retred tyres ive got on at the moment, the outside diameter is huge ::)
and part to the shocks

I'm not sure what shocks were put in them, but I can probably find out if you like. I'll contact the mechanic that did it and get back to ya on that one.
They actually seem to make a bit of noise, like short creaking noises when I'm slowing down...is this normal?
