The king of bling! What's up with your suspension?! Surely by the time you've paid for these + fitment, you'll be well on the way to a set of Weitecs :? Nothing wrong with my suspension apart from having two different shocks on the back :shock: and being too high. I payed £140 for them and my mates coming up tomoro to help me fit them ( he owns me any way). Other wise I would of saved up for weitecs. -

Picked up some coilovers today :D Only some cheap things (Raceland) but will last me long enough to save for some Weitecs 8) -
Right had a phone call of my bro saying he just went over a bump and there was things scrapping coming from the car :help: I got home and had a look and found this hanging from underneath it whih should of been here it was sheared off apart from one bolt holding it on, so took it off so didnt cause any more damage. Firstly what does it do and will it matter not being there?
-
Its right round the lip mainly but also a few bis right down in the corners

This winter has taken its toll on my C first top mounts then arblink brakeing Now I've got little patches of rust apearing around the wings :( So whats the best way to removing this. Sand it down to bare metal, coat in anti rust stuff then paint, then laquer then loads of polishing. What would be the best way of doing this but not getting dull paint after, basically how can I remove the rust and not leave any signs I've dont it.

Looks good nothing better than a Ice grey 8) How did you tint the front lights and fogs?
-
Ya would be a club meet with a difference
-
cheack the bolt that goes between the suspension and the mount the mount as it might be lose. It is below the metal/brass plate of the top mount and is sort of like a tube that threards onto to the suspension and sits inbetween that and the top mount. I had a knocking from my suspension after new top mounts and thats what was causing mine.
-
Yep :( Allso found of that my rear shocks are different. One side I got standard and the other side I got mono ( I think its mono or monai somthing like that) :epicfail:
-
It was a youge kiddie I cant remember his name ( It might have been Chris) but some one els came and helped him finish off. No they didnt say anything to me about getting the alignment done. :confused4:

Well we found the cause of the knocking noise whilst at DG. Turns out the bolt that holds the suspension to the top mount wasnt done up :eek: :mad2: Also the camber wasnt adjusted after the top mounts were fitted so my wheels looked like this \ \ insted of || :mad2: All sorted now tho :D
