Droool...Love the plates.
hehe cool
Nice... lower (c'mon you knew it was coming :thumb )
Go the late sqaure!
Dan:thumb
Mine's sitting on the bump stops as it is. :thumb
Davo & Franko fitted the replacement motor and trans today - wow what a difference....think I'm in love...if only the exhaust was
bigger.................
Mmm , maybe replace the shock with some thing different and hack some out of the stops . Thats what i've been playing with this w'end. Put koni's
on up front and it's changed things no end. The front was all over the place and rubbing on big hits! No more though. How low was the rear??? I went
2 notch's and lower would just be insane to drive around here. The car has also dropped slightly since first done and i have got to get the rear
guards rolled this week. KYB Gas shocks on rear $40 each from CIS !!! My rides in members forum if you want to look at ride heights ever.
Good luck with your project , great to see some more late's getting the treatment!
Cheers Dan:thumb
sweet 
like the squares = nic one shagg'n
hey man, nice ride, gotta love the late models, but i am with ruckus, drop her just a bit lower. my notch is slammed 3 man, rides rough as guts but damn it looks the goods
Hahaha. Points for the rego plates :thumb
Shit yeah, go white walls and the roof rack. Venetians are an awesome touch..... accesories are the best part to owning a car
Oh an there is the driving it part too. 
Cheers for the comments so far :thumb
I know some of you dudes have the philiosophy of "Too Low is not low enough" and I agree it certainly looks the goods, but surely it's gotta be
totally impractical to have a daily driver that's lowered three notchs.
1) Handling would be compromised by massive changes in Camber & Caster
2) Chewing out tyres like a bastard
3) I would like to be able to transport people in the back, luggage for holidays and tow the odd trailer.
4) I like to know the cops won't defect my ass on site :thumb
That said everyone's entitled to do their own thing...

Nice square shagin... IMHO the ride height is perfect. My notch is low and the ride sucks because the front does not have much travel and Sydney
roads have much to be desired. I am looking into raising it a notch (no pun intended) soemtime in the future. wheels look nice as well. Have you
thought of painting the centers black and just leaving the spokes grey/silver?

Cheers for your comments Octa. My ride is pretty jiggly as it is, so would hate to think what they ride like if another notch lower.
I definitely want to paint the Sprint Star centres black, but it would be a turd of a job to do nicely as there are no hard edges to work with, and I
am anally retentive and couldn't tolerate having wonky lines etc.
My current plan is to leave the wheels and tyres as they are for 6 months or so. Then put whitewalls on for a different look, then after a little
more time, do the centres black. But knowing me it will have whitewalls and black centres in around a month.. :thumb
does anyone know if dropped spindles are available for type 3s?
Very nice late square
Marc
Fitted sweet second hand motor with Extractors and Thunderbird Exhaust (thanks Davo!!!), big ass spot lights, whitewalls & Headlight Grilles
Still have more to go...Mudflaps, Venetians, Visor, Rack and Console.....

Hey Shaginwagin,
Your ride looks really nice. I especially like the wheels. It would also be nice to add it to the Type 3 Registry for the rest of the World to see.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dennis
