Vibrates so hard my ears bleed.

Here they are! 7 spokes from a KE Verada Ei i think. Tyres are superb, mix of Dunlop SP Sports and Goodyear Eagles

Those rims suit your Magna's colour well. Looks good.
boot spoiler and parabolics. then lowered.Yeah lower it and she'll look sweet.

I vote bargain of the year. Dead set look at the condition of the rims too http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/images/smilies/sign0098.gif
thanks for the nice comments :D
any ideas on lowering it now? what brand? shocks as well?
dimi108
18-03-2007, 05:55 PM
Kings superlows just like adrians car. Beautiful.
Looking at around $350-$380 installed. Ozzy tyres does it for $370 that's where i'm probably going to get mine done next week.
If anyone knows a better place in Sydney and cheaper let me and david know! lol
definately!!! is that just springs? 30mm lower?
dimi108
18-03-2007, 06:00 PM
I'm not sure. I have 17"s i'm just going to ask them to sit them to the fit the wheel arches.
I need to replace the front suspension. When these are replaced after lowering, will the car sit even lower? Cos I don't want it to sit lower than what I get it set to.
I heard that if you replace the springs it will dip the front a bit, and old shocks make the front end higher?
Is this true guys?
i think camber kit may need to be included as well for the front end...

18-03-2007, 06:08 PM
Yeah the wheels are wearing out only on the outer parts. So theres some camber going on.
Don't know what's happening hahaha

Big mofo brakes aren't they? My car has the same ones. They're huge and fill up 17" wheels really well!

They look like KS Verada ABS twin pots... nice little brake modification for your second gen.

*thinks to him self that he may have to get some:bowrofl: *, how munch for the conversion,
do you use the same discs, pads, ect...
they came standard on the car. Any TS with ABS came with the twin piston 276mm brakes, ventilated all round with 266 on the back i think. I have had to haul them on a couple of times since i have had the car and bugger me do these things scrub off speed :shock: really really want a set of new DBA slotted discs all round with Ferodo DS pads and silver calipers. MUST.....SLOW........DOWN, CLOSE.......WALLET

19-03-2007, 04:26 PM
screw ferodo's! Get some bendix ultimates mate
cost me in the end $33 to do the brake conversion!
I had some very generous AMC members donate just about everything i needed to do the conversion (Science, TJ Sports)
Just had to pay for a new brake line lol
If you have a V6 but with the single pots you only need the calipers and brackets and brake lines
if you have a 4cyl you need both rotors and calipers and brake lines
Fantasic mod.
Love braking hard to see stuff from my seat hit the windscreen.
yes lol its also nice to know you have the ability to haul its ass up hard if need be. very stable under braking too, no squirming.
dimi108
19-03-2007, 05:12 PM
What are all these brands. Bendix and DBA. How about you give Endless (http://www.endless-brake.info/) or Brembo (http://www.brembo.com/ENG) brakes a go.
They piss all over these.
