because of too many troubles with regency and driveways i decided to buy brand new stock height springs... my r32 already has original stock springs but over 18 years they somehow managed to sink below legal limit and any second hand ones i found were also low and uneven...

i got them made at alloy industrial springs on port rd and got them installed this week for regency... my mechanic installed the front ones but he said the rear ones they gave me are too wide on the top where the strut mount goes... so i went back and told them they gave me wrong springs, but they said they are correct according to their specs... my shocks have same dimensions and stock ones so that's not the problem...

so now i cant be sure whos right...

my mechanic said that rear springs for r32 are exactly same as for s13...

here are the specs i got from adl industrial springs:

R32 rear springs:

1st end - 98mm (inside diameter)

2nd end - 78mm (inside diameter)

S13 rear springs:

1st end - 90mm (inside diameter)

2nd end - 80mm (inside diameter)

can anyone confirm these details for me?

oh and yea... one more q - i got the new stock spring in the front of my car and it looks like a fkn big foot there lol... i can fit 4 fingers between tyre and wheel arch.. apparently they are going to come down a bit after a while... can i expect much?

so i dont start another topic... i finally had a chance to put rear king springs in...

the inside diameter is same as at stockies, but they are thicker so they sit a bit funny on top mounts, slightly over edge... just wanna make sure that this looks right:

it seems alright when driving, no funny noises etc

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
