That was what I was trying to explain to you in your other thread...:) Definately need a drop on 20s.

seano,

wasnt your car slightly lower than your mates?

just because you havent upgraded springs doesnt mean a previous owner didnt. you could have Z springs and not know it...

clean the springs and check for any spots of paint colour, theyll ID the springs,

Very good point, i will check this when i change my comp rod bushings. I doubt it though you would assume the previous owner would mention that as a selling point.

Could be right, my car does look a lot lower than the pictures above though. Might just be because my rims and tyres are only stock 18s but yeah. When i get time to do my comp rod bushings i'll take some pics of the springs is there any way you can properly tell apart from paint marks?

I wouldn't rely on photo comparisons alone to determine if you are lowered or not. Your springs and shocks could well be tired and sagged a lot more than your mates both being factory suspension. As I mentioned earlier as well, overall wheel diameter could also have an effect, so maybe let us know what tire profiles you are running on your 18s as well. A difference or 10-15mm could give u a slightly lowered look

I'll buy your mags. how much? :)

$800..fair call? .Im in perth. They look nearly identical to BMW rims.

I'm at work for two weeks now so if you're keen txt me 0427197256 They are still at the tyre shop.

Marshan: No I wasn't running 17's, I was running 19's LOL

And yes, will get it lowered eventually, one thing at a time!!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
