Hey, i noticed the other day that my rear suspension is GAB branded and has an adjustable dial on it (cant remember what it says, Stiff/soft/2 other settings)

Just wondering if this will adjust ride height

And assuming it does, more importantly are my fronts adjustable or just standard GTR issue

Cheers guys for the info, will have to look at getting something adjustable these are gonna sit way too high with 18's

Your ride height will not change noticably if you get the right size tyre.

Stock size is 225/50R16, with a rolling radius of 315.7mm. A 225/40R18 has a rolling radius of 318.6mm. A 255/35R18 has a rolling radius of 317.8mm.

So you can see, by picking the right size tyre (one of those two preferably), your ride height changes bugger all, <3mm.

Could you pick that by eye? I sure couldn't :O

Yeh, thanks for that, the rim's i'm going to get are going to have a very low profile tyre on them to keep the same OD, have just seen big rims on cars before and thought they'd look much better lowered, whereas with the standard ones, it's not so much of a concern as they're boring already hehe

yo.. i was just wondering if these are actually aftermarket? or standard GTR fitment.

I'm considering upgrading soon-ish but if these are aftermarket they're probably decent and just need adjusting.. the gtr doesn't handles as well as i'd like it to

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
