i originally took em out for moar lows why do you wanna put em in?

just get a 2nd hand set of coilovers or something..

helper springs compress your coilover springs so they dont fly around when you lift a wheel off the ground haha. People put them in so they can go more low without springs popping out of the seats!

I need to put some in, cause any lower and will pop out.

Paid a pretty penny for my new Bilstein shocks, which are far better than any chinese coilovers. Would be silly to bin them for more lows. Need to just spend more money to convert them to coilovers ~_~

East Bear

A trader used to sell em on here, but only had the beige/tan color which I wasn't a fan of, black was pretty rare...think they were something like $800 a piece back in the day + rails...I had Bride rails on em which aren't cheap either

Thought you'd be keen as mustard for footy training if you're so into running..

It's more the session times I can't deal with, rather than cbfs about training. Work sometimes holds me back late and Tues + Thurs are gym nights for me. Thirds is more about punch ons than footy though!

lol they pop out but they'll go back in place during/after compression. they were a bit noisy after i took em out but it dropped the height another inch or so.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
