lol nah she spent $1k on me i think thats enough.

ill do sway bars eventually but as ive made a dramatic improvement over the previous suspension ive had, i think ill just get used to these first..

Lol dude, was just stirring; anytime you're ready.:thumbsup: They'll make a nice amount of difference, especially since your shocks were fairly stuffed to begin with.

Are you sure they supplied you M35 ones? When I got mine, I requested softer springs & was told they would not supply anything more than 2kg/mm different from standard - I suppose so the shocks &

So is it 2x3mm washers that are required on each coilover? Does it matter what they are made of?

Pm me your address; I'll post some to you. I has a shite load of them.

Sorry I should really keep all of the questions/info here.. What is involved with the rear spring removal in the M35? can you just take the outer bolt out of the "lower spring mount" and that is enough to drop the spring out or is there more to it?

As Dale once said..

To remove the STD rear spring it is easier to undo the inner mount for the lower arm (one with the spring seat) and lower the whole arm supported with a jack. Mark the eccentric bolt on the lower arm before removal. You'll be aligning once you're done; but at least you're no worse off. The STD spring is very long and you won't be able to swing the arm far enough down to remove the spring from the seat.

I thought you said you'd sussed it out already :P

Is anyone finding that they need to set the rear passenger spring lower than the drivers rear to get the back of the car level?

I'm using Tanabe and the rear passenger side needs the spring adjusted lower to try and level the car out. Now it's to the point where I lower the rear passenger but when the car has settled it hasn't changed the height of the car. I'm lost as I can't work out why that corner won't come down even though I'm lowering the spring.

Have you loosened all the control arm mounting points to release the tension on the bushes? This can limit adjustment. You'll need to have the car on ramps so everything is loaded and at ride height.

Also, check the springs to see if they're marked left/right or nearside/farside. I wouldn't expect that, but you never know...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
