you can actually buy shorter springs from tein,

what is the part # on your rear springs?

it will tell you the free height and the spring rate

oh really? cools i'll check tonite...... if not i'll get some springs made up, the stock springs off the GGSR is not that far off the Tein ones, they just dont taper at one end........ hurm

[DOUGMO]

tein usually run a 70mm id spring front and rear on coil overs

i have some coming at the moment, 2 of them might be
too short for my car which will work out well

see how we go i guess

[bazeng]

whats with these fwd cars taking the teins away from the awd dudes!?!?!

*cough dre*

Last set of shocks i ran, which did not have enough travel (to long) broke the shock mounts clean out of the chassis :shock:
Guess it was the 5ft jump out of the creek :oops:

Since you have a nice lathe, you should have a go at making longer front control arms / adjustable ones, for us VR4 boys TRUE widebody VR4

untill i have a VR4 ....... i'll stick to making parts for my GGSR!!!!! but the lathe's at my uncles work shop but i will be getting one when the back end of my place gets finished..... should be fun!!!

rear shocks might be up for sale.... AWSOME handling sticks to the ground like no tomoro but way too rough for my liking... might be getting KYB AGX or koni rears, but for the mean time my pedders with kings springs are doin fine for now.....

just put all my pedders suspension in as the front shocks are set to 8deg camber and now my CV joints are gone...... need new heavier duty ones.....

[JayRome]

i know its proly illegal but meh it works...... to make the Teins fit and look right on the back i had to custom make some springs...... choped it to size then welded a plate to the bottom so that it will line up with the helper spring.... (sorry crap pics)

[JayRome]

update... new S14 alloy radiator, hidden head unit, new gauge air/fuel mix gauge..

[DOUGMO]

what springs did you use for the back mate?

how much did you have to cut them down? either way its good to see them in the car

[JayRome]

um they were the pedders springs off my original suspension cut to shape and made to fit.... not bad pritty stiff.... need to cut one more coil off to make it sit better but atm i doesnt look that bad.....

[DOUGMO]

are they the same diameter as the tein springs?

got any pics of how the car sits now?

[JayRome]

the top of the Teins are perfect size for them, the bottom had to be custom made like all the parts on my car.... i should have a pik i'll get it up soon.... i got to take a fresh one during the day.... i'll keep you posted DOUGMO

[DOUGMO]

sweet, always love your work mate

[JayRome]

[DOUGMO]

[JayRome]

car's stance with the Teins in....

[olly]

that's a nice height jay

[Jonson]

Yeah, leave that height. How much work are you putting into this thing! The new Radiator looks nice. does that piping have enough flex in those lil bits of hose? You got some skills!

I only just noticed....why do you have a boost gauge?

[JayRome]

that's a nice height jay

thanks olls, i might drop the ass just a tiny bit..... but handles like a nut case round corners!...

I only just noticed....why do you have a boost gauge?

yer end of each pipe has bout 4" of standard rubber hose so yes its got enough play.... less things that can break in the long run i guess...
ahah yer the boost gauge was cheap, i was offered the set of Drift gauges for way way less then cost so i bought 3 then added the last matching gauge the other day.... i may have big plans in very nere future... STAY TUNED lol.....

how much i'v spent? what ever i'v made from "Tune up and delivering groceries" lol....

i must get ideas out of my head before i go CRAZY!........
