of course .... the old one being full of crud would have weighed more than the new one.... so you know...your car is probably sitting EVEN higher now :lol:

what ever happened to your special porsche wheels?

what arb do you have then steve? good to meet you today BTW

i paid £200 for mine a few years back and its still going strong and sounding great!

Fairzy, you need at least 16" wheels for these 312mm brakes you can squeeze later mk3 golf 288mm behind the speedlines while is what i am doing.

ecu will store faults untill it is cleared by vag com or the old disconnect the battery routine

i believe the 25mm is all you need. also the front ARB already on the car is not to bad...upgrading the front will make it very skittish

red lights in usa dont always mean the same though...like you can turn left through a red if nothing is coming :shock: :lol: yanks :lol: ...thats said im actually going out with one so there not all bad :roll:

oh and i see that the willwood rears have PROPER handbrake mechanisms..... is it an easy install then?

ooohh hlove those brakes!!!! how much did they set you back if i can ask such a bold question? cant you ask to take the wheels, cams and TB and ECU off the crashed car???

The Integra gets my thumbs up although it needs pushing hard. My friend has the MR2 turbo (standard is about 245 bhp). its so easy to drive and so easy to drive fast actually!! i really liked it

league 037 the were 16x7j with 205/45/16 toyos i went go karting a while back....finished...got back in my crx.......didnt really feel much different :lol:

mmmmmm good old days sorry...thread hijack over :roll:

probably a bad idea to start swapping major components....the mags and press didnt say it was one of the best FWD handling cars around......oooh apart from the back end :) i dont mind swapping the consumables (springs ans shocks) but major chassis adjustments sond too complicated and open up too much scope for error IMO drive any crx of MY old CRX....i spoke to the guy the other day who bought it..he jiust fitted the replacement gearbox i supplied with it and he says its like new again..done 145k now and he is thinking of selling soon :| hmmm....crx...then a corrado...how about a crx AND a corrado :lol:

the £380 is for a full set...I.E front and back springs and front and back dampers it would be dangerous (and probably have a negative effect on the handling) if you just changed the fronts oh and kev....my mk2 1990 crx had fully indapendant rear suspension....handled like a dream...miss that car :cry:

the rear suspension is basicallty a beam all the way across and attaches to the chassis about 1 foot infront of where the rear wheels are...the shock and spring go directly up from the wheel and attach at the top of the wheel arch (accessable from in the boot area) to lower you simple buying lowering springs and change them...the angle of the beam then changes because it has shorter springs fitted. it is not the same as a peugeot (my dads old 405 for instance) to lower all 4 corners you just need to change all 4 springs and suitable dampers to match the springs. this wil lower the centre of gravity and give you a more stable cornering feel i did all mine at home...just need a good selection of sockets and alan keys and a basic knowledge of cars. you'll need to get it set up on a proper geo machine after though (cost me about £70) to make sure all the tracking, camber and castor angles are all ok

as i say £390 was for the koni top adjustable dampers and the koni springs....they are a little harder than the H&R's when there are fully bedded in but not too much that you would regret it IMO they were from larkspeed CLICKY HERE oohh just seen they are £380 now :lol: the rear anti roll bar just keeps the who car nice and level through corners and will assist the suspension nicely

as a rule of thumb go for koni top adjustable dampers but then there are a number of spring types to choose. H&R springs lower approx 30mm and provide a nice smooth ride but cost about £150 ontop of the price of the dampers. Koni springs (available in a very well priced kit from larkspeed for £390 inc springs and dampers) lower 40mm and are a little bumpy at times. Also go for a nuspeed rear anti roll bar. I dont have one at present but i drove kevhaywires car which does have one and the difference was very good! oh i have the koni springs BTW HTH

the milltek and the magnex are actually available for a very similar price (about £280 if you shop around for the magnex).

so you say you got them from the dealers???? not keen on the purple but the red looks a good match for the lower half

i sent my speedline 15" wheels with tyres for under £50. this was with royal mail parcel post and although it takes up to 5 working days it was by far the cheapest i could find i had to pack each wheel separately and it was a bit of a pain...next time i sell wheels i will probably do collection only

starwars??

yeah bigerbigben is trying to sell wheels like that :roll:

I'll just add mine doesnt boom IMO.

FurkiG60, well there is a lifetime warrenty so you can just get a new one surely. im happy with the sound of my milltek....nice burble at idle (as an aftermarket exhaust should do IMHO) and then silent when you put power through it!
