What price did you get them for if you don't mind me asking?

Got them off another forum, $120 for the set. Theyre a bit perished on the insides with only about 4mm left though.

Mind if I ask what suspension your car is sitting on?

Won't have my coilovers for quite some time (Budget

) So am considering throwing some cheap superlows in but I'm worried about ride height, anyone using them?

Not to mention the paint is immaculate. The bad - its red

Bugger!

Only joking, Glad you found one you're happy with.

Yeah i know that feel, would love some coilovers but getting a cert on top of them just sucks tbh.

Its sitting on compressed springs as it all looks very stock under there, nothing colourful. Gives it a semi-hard ride which suits me well cause i like a bit of a harsh ride.

Rebuilt my shifter - makes such a big difference!

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:45 pm

Just fitted Tein springs and Bilsteins to the front, Makes the back feel crap! Haha

My front drivers side took 5mins to go back up after I compressed it. Hopefully the backs not to far away.

why'd it take so long?

I wanted to do them all at once but the rears still havent arrived. That and getting some help means it has to be on everyones schedule.

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 8:29 pm

nah i mean, why'd it take to long for them to go up after they were compressed? so you push them down, and then they take 5 mins to be back to the top? seems a little long right?

Its because they were stuffed, leaked oil out and lost pressure, hence return taking so long.

So, since the day I brought my car, I started a little log book...

It has all the mods, the prices of them, what I thought of them and also why I did them, this shit is crayyy. So many mods for the time I have had it.

It also has all the designs for my nakamae console in it.

Very good for any future owners

I just keep a folder of receipts/invoices

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:43 pm

I have a folder with all car receipts (completely unorganised now, used to be date ordered) and I refuse to go through them and add them up

Have no intention of giving my car to a second owner.

It's just quicker for me to list what hasn't been modified with mine.

Angreal - I never want to let mine go.. But if I were to move country, then well... I suppose it would have to go :'(

Donovan - All you need to say is LS1 and people will start offering
