is it possible to get slightly lower springs that 350mm?

I'm after around 330mm - 335mm

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves, so you can select the height you want.

:( cheers ;)

PS. 330 mm is too low for good handling and ride comfort

mmmm, i was only looking at the springs though, not the shocks as i am happy with my 'gabs' but it sits too low.

I got the front and rear springs and struts.

Excellant handling now - will get out to mallala eventually to really test them

only thing on my car the circlips had to be moved right to the top of the strut to get the height to 350 front - SK is there anything that can be changed - old rubber bits used at top of strut that would affect this

The top rubbers are worth around 10 mm. The most common issue is excessive camber, what sort of camber is it running, front and rear.

:whistling: cheers :devil:

When you put the Whiteline springs in using GAB shocks you SHOULD end up at around 345 mm front and 340 mm rear. Every car is different though. That wil settle around 5 mm after 1,000ks or so.

:D cheers :D

cool, how much will shipping be to adelaide for a set of the springs?

Also my rear gab shocks are from a 180, will that make a difference to the final ride height in my 32?

How long is this group buy open for? I need to save some money :)

There are still a few sets of R32GTST Bilsteins left, so a month, maybe 2.

:) Cheers :O

hi SK

this may have been asked before so maybe you or some one can point me in the right direction.

in your first post you say that the stabilizer bars have 2 holes for even more adjustment. how much better are these 2 extra holes? i am setting my car up for drift and these are the next thing on the list so am wondering just how firm you can get these? ive also seen on the whiteline site that they have an adj extra heavy deuty bar (i think may not be adjustable) so can you get these aswell or would the ones that you have in your group buy offer the same stiffness?

also there is a group of my mates that want just 1 or 2 things like me so could we put one order together so we can get the extra 5% discount?

thanks damo

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
