Nice work. Gearbox's suck when they go, good you got it cheap.

Notice your dropping 30mm on the front and 60mm on the rear? Why? That'll sit well arse low and front high. Just drop it 60 all round! I had it 60mm all round look (excuse the gay rear lights) :

and that sat perfectly. If you did it like that it'll just look silly as the front will be up in the air still.

cheers for comments guys
im doin it as iv stripped the rear and without the weight in the bk the rear has lifted and its horrible round corners
so if i low the rear by 60 and the front by 40 it will sit sweet then oh and a few reasons for not wantin 60 on front is rubbin and the lower the front is the more often your changin wishbones :doh:

trust me 60mm on rear 40/30mm on front of a stripped si :thumbsup:

oh right if its stripped then fair enough, probably would be best. but at least 40mm

Well in theory.. 100mm on the back and 80mm on the front? Don't want no arch gap!

i like a lil arch gap though
there is a thing as too low imo
i want to lower it for purpose not for looks
and 60mm on the bk is sweet to keep that light end down and 40mm on the front so i dont have any rubbin issues etc

Those are the dudes! :lol:

and its "scrubbing" not rubbin

but fair play if you want it for the handling as to low does compromise a few things. Should still make it that low though

got a day off today so thought id get some stuff done
oil and filter change to fully synthetic and a tighten up of the power steering hoses and a refill of fluid
then i turned her over the noises were nealry gone lol jus an alternator pulley squeakin at me now

i dont think i was thrashin it enough :lolz:
