good point! i wanna see the car, not the dog ugly smile ;)

blake had to leave before they were all in - i will get picks this weekend and then post them next week - and have a comparison photos for you all!!

Manual

Sorry Sorry i know its my fault no final shots but i had to pick the mrs up from work.

Manual has the same combination as in mine so in theory our cars should look the same. My rear would be a tiny bit lower due to all the sound gear.

yeah my rear i admit could be a bit lower - but for now it will do - i cant be bothered pulling it all out again just yet!!

Manual

Especially after that bastard bolt hey manual... :lol:

If the bodykit allows me to go lower im going to chop a coil of my springs, but i might have to chop the bumpstops also... not sure on this one.

chopping the springs rocks

bump stops will be easy to chop if u want - but new shockies wouldbe better!!

as for that bolt - we still couldnt get it out - so we just filled hte rubber bush with WD40 and put it back in that way - i had a mate stadning on the rear hub while i turned the bolt. bloody thing!!!

Manual

Since all of u are experiencing the Kings Spring Experience... I will too go and earn that experience...

i've been told by by the pros in and out of Mitsubishi that my sports shockies do not need to be change too coz it's still gooood.. :D

How much u guys paid for the springs BTW... :D

If your interested in a set e-mail me for details and pricing.

Chopping your springs changes the tension on the coils.

You may find one day that the springs will shatter.. Handy that would be eh? :roll:

Why dont you people just get them professionally done? Unless you dont give a shit bout your car go ahead and chop them!

Bain is 100% correct, chopping your springs puts much more load on them as it changes the tension characteristics. It can be very dangerous if they were to fail but i've never heard of them shattering.

i can only lower my car one inch :(

Depending on the type of steal, you can shatter a coil by incorrectly cutting them, causing stress line/heat fractures just from the cut..

Of course it wont shatter in your hands, but when you load your car on it and do some pretty hard driving it can happen.

Also if you cut your springs wrong you can have the car sagging and **** up your handling severely.. wrecking tyres/rims and other parts of your car, ball joints, bushes etc etc..

Just dont be cheap arses and buy some kings - full kit is less than 300 bucks and it is all good - only a couple of hours for install by a newb - i had never done it before and it was easy!!

Manual

I must admit it was very basic to do yourself.

Anyone looked into those "usa" style hydraulic suspension setups? (cost/etc). Now that would be cool! :shock:

Very very illegal... oh well... It would b cool to lower you car like 1cm of the ground with the flick of a switch.

yes - u r looking at custom build - r modded diamante - and u r looking at +3K!!! i did look at it for a while - the whole bouncing thing i love - but it isnt good for ya car - tends to jump the car and leave the engine sitting on the ground!!

Anyways - Tein have electronic height control - but that is also expensive - i dunno though - about 3K seems about right - will look again for you!!

Manual

I've got Kings low springs too.

Photo taken the day after it getting done:

Cost $380 installed.

Heaps noticable different in handling / ride height too!

awsome.. im interested in the comparesen of b4 and the final produckt...
hrm..
nice^^

i think i might have a look at costum bodykits to make the gards come down heaps so it gives the elution that i have lowerd it and also giving the frount an FuLLy awsome look to it...

Kill 2 birds with one stone..

but costum stuff is heaps expencive hey...

if someone can post a picture for me i can email it to them for a before shot!!!

big differences!!

Manual

Most noticable is the huge ugly gap in the front wheel arch is gone!

[/img]

Yes i know - the one in front is the RPW TT magna - yes it got more attention then mine!! but i did get in it and try the short shift and it is bloody excellent compared to standard!!! bit bumpy - but that was due to the heavy clutch they are using in it!!

anyways - more picks of it:
