Re: help with lowering

yeah im gonna ask someone else to do them as i have been told by a few people they are generally loose but when they are back on the car they dont move as the weight of the car compresses them so im gonna get my club mechanic to sort them out as he does alot of lowering on different cars


the ones i have bourght are these below

Re: help with lowering

If I can do it I can't see why a 'mechanic' can't.

If you want a fast project car how about a pulsar GTR? I know where there is one that runs but needs work though. Took it out for a spin the other week. Rapid.
