springs dont do shit, they will give you basically same ride hieght but stiffer better to do it once do it right even get second hand coils if you can should be under a grand. Otherwise you'll get springs be dissapointed and go get coilovers later on

Ha!

Springs can do good.

Like you said, 2nd coil overs is another option.

Find a decent set and fit them and you should be fine.

springs are ok, usually not without new struts as well though then ur talking cheap coilover prices.

spose could just chop springs works for the commo boys..

:blush: Rolla boys love that too, chop, weld, skidz!

You can compress the springs, they heat it up and compress it down and let it sit till it has cooled down hence it becoming lower.

Import Monster will have a 2nd hand set of coilovers and that's the proper way of doing things.

Hehe!!

Kye gave me a link to a place in Bendigo that does suspension, and they quoted me close to $700 for just the King Springs to get it down 3cm.....plus labor (That's the cheapest they have) and was over $1000 (Supply only) if I wanted the Tein S-Tech springs, asked about coil-overs and he pretty much ignored that I even spoke!

So I think I'm going to just leave her as is for now til I move to Melbourne, It's so expensive to get anything done up here.

$700 a rip for kings springs to be supplied and installed

even $1000 for just the supply of s-tech's

id say the prices are high becuase of where your located atm, try traction tyres, centreline etc from the recommended workshops thread when you move to Melb

would be much much cheaper imo

You could get BC coilovers for not much more. :)

Benders is only an hour and a half away from Melbourne, just watch for the cops around Kyneton, they get all sooky when their missus knocks them back...

Yeah wait till you move to Melbourne and get it done.

how far is bendigo to melbie anyway?

It is approximately 131 k's from Melbourne.

You guys know where this little hole in Victoria is quite well. I can get from Bendigo to St Albans in 1 hour 15 minutes....

Scotty- lol yeah they can be a little sooky, but Sunbury cops are bad to, when I had my BMW was getting pulled over all the time...

cop: That's a expensive car for a p plater

me: thank you

Cop: Racing wheels?

Me: There not racing wheels, Rodney Jane Racing is the brand...and they came with the car.

Woah thats way expensive for the springs! Yeah Bendigo has its downsides sometimes. Went to se suburbs to get my car resprayed. Was quoted $4500 just for the rear quarters here! And because Im a girl and have an import Ive found no one takes me seriously. If I had a commodore and wanted to cut springs and put in fully sick neons workshops would be lined up :D

I know that feeling Kye, The guy at the tyre centre totally ignored me, and spoke to Brenton. These days I just take him with me and let him do the talking, it's much easier then being spoke to like you don't even speak English.

I get sick of the amount of "fully sick" Commodores I see in Bendigo. I'm also very tired of having burgers/drinks tossed at my car, or people shouting "Get a real car" at me.

Did you only get charged so little because you chose a basic colour?? My mums thinking about getting her Lancer re-sprayed the poor car looks pink these days.

I think I saw you on the weekend, your Skyline is a Metallic Silver R33 with a wing right??

Speak to Thuy from J-Imports about some coilovers (and anything else you may need). He has sorted many people in this club out for parts.

He should be able to find something for you from Japan or locally (new or 2nd hand) at a very reasonable price. Just let him know you're from SAU, drop a few names about the place and you're in.

I'll PM you his details.

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

It's not the driving to Melb part I have a problem with cos I'm down there 3 days a week anyway, it's just that I need my car.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
