GREAT IDEA!!! so guys, who's interested?? is this weekend too soon? and do i need to own 'tools' of some sort, coz i don't... PARTY AT KARINA'S!!!!!squizy wrote:Karina - how's about finding a few bods on here who know how to lower it, but on some snags and some beer over lunchtime, and by the end of lunch, your car will be lowered. Save $$, make friends, and have lowered car (minus wheel alignment as Glenn said) all in one go.

Which you would find is included in the CBB quote. They have their own electronic wheel alignment set up.VWCOOL wrote:You will need a four-wheel alignment too... that will be another $100 or so.

Give it a few weeks Karina...find those in the know who can actually do it, not just know how it's done....give them some notice, and then BBQ time.
You might want to think about the type of look you are after. Do you want it slammed, raked, 2 inch drop....do you want to run narrow rubber up front (ie 135 or 145's)....will you need to buy that rubber beforehand and have it ready to go on a couple of spare rims etc etc etc. Find some pics of cars with the type of stance you like, post them up in your thread, and people can work out how far to twist to get you down.

would these rear torsion rubbers be what makes a bad noise when i sometimes go over speed bumps? the noise seems to be coming from the rear of the car...but my solution is just to make the music loud enough so you don't hear such noises anymore 😉
i can't afford all those other fancy additions!!!!!! being the poor uni student i am 🙁
the lowering comes first, food second and third fancy additions...u gotta get your priorities right!!

Could be, but its more likely flogged out shockie rubbers hehe... Its hard to tell from Brisbane though 😵
The loud music is a long practiced tradition. But im dissapointed bling comes after food :o 'poor uni student' pfftttt
Its been years since i bought torsion rubbers so i have no clue on $, they werent to exy from memory. Its a great opportunity to replace the torsion rubbers while the boys have it apart. Shockie rubbers are a no brainer!
Go the stage 2 lowering 👍

The torsion bar rubbers "usualy" make a rhythmic thumping rather than a thump over bumps
Definitely do these as it will be silly to pull it that far down and not do them

Oh yeah, I need the explanation to be as simple as possible.

Easier option is to select the print function; select PDF printer (if installed); save as what ever .pdf; and there it is!Special Air Service wrote:This may be a stupid question but how do you save the Selecta pictures? I havent been able to work it out.
