Hi guys

Did a search couldn't find anything on this, but i lowered my car 3 months ago with the Whiteline Lowered springs, i'm sure there the same as in SK's group buy but i got mine else where.

I noticed the rear sits higher then the front, anyone else experienced this?

I asked a few guys i've met on SAU, there not sure why either.

Any help would be appreciated :D

Cheers,

Pics are below of what i mean:

Get the tape measure out and check it. Should be 350 mm front and 340 mm, rear centre of wheel to guard as usual.

Cheers

Gary

Just measured it, its 340mm at front and 360mm at rear

Is that normal?

don't think so .. iirc the rear is 10mm lower from factory so if your front is 340mm rear should be 330mm ?

Edit: oh yeah thanks for ignoring my PMs and every attempt to contact you SydneyKid in regards to my suspension package that I paid for 4 weeks ago. Good too see you're keeping busy answering random questions, but can't spare 30 seconds to let a customer know what is happening with their goods. GRR.

Hmmm....might grab a pair of those Bilstein rear shocks to lower the back abit more then....

Thanks for your help

I wouldnt rush out and buy them yet, if they should be 350mm front and 340mm rear and yours is 340mm front and 360mm rear then there is def. something wrong there.

Yeh i figured there might be something wrong, i'll wait for Sk's reply and see what he thinks before going ahead with anything.

Thanks Danny

Check the part numbers stamped on the coils, should be 23175 on the front and 23176 on the rear.

Hey Gary

I just checked the part numbers just now, they are:

Fronts are23175 as u said.

Rears are 23139, does that mean they have me incorrect rear springs?

Cheers,

What rear springs are they then?

Man i dont know.....its been like 6 months now since i purchased them.

Don't think i can get them to give me the correct ones, if they turn out to be the incorrect springs i might just buy a pair for rears....

I'll just wait for gary's reply and see what he says

Hi guys i need some help with this, i did my research and found that the rear pair are actually for an R33 not R34. My front are correct.

Now whats the chances of me getting the correct ones replaced by the store i bought it from? i know its been awhile since i had them, bought them in january and fitted them in may.

I just want to know if were to go back an explain the situation to them would they be willing to give me the right ones?

Its probably not a good chance, but i just want to know if i was entitled as a customer to get the correct parts after so long.

I would ahve done it earlier if i knew the parts were incorrect, but wasnt until i fitted them and let them set in before i noticed they were still sitting higher then the front.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
