Hehe, pics on saturday :bash:

 

Yeah Kim, i think i might get king spring lows. Not sure about rear? would like to do it properly...

 

I am also thinking of spraying the roof racks that came with it black and putting them on...

 

Thoughts?

Yep, definitely go the roof racks. That's what we were going to do. :bash: They need some sort of foam to protect the spots where they sit on the car but will just top it off so well. Tinted windows would be sweet too!

Yeah i am going to clean them up, new rubber or foam around the bars and then some sort of protective strip in the middle of the attaching clamp.

Tint may happen later down the track....

 

Oh i forgot to ask, whats up with the front window? (bubbles) everyone asks if its raining :bash:

Hah hah, lol. Did point it out to your Dad. We asked the dude we bought it from and he said it came like that when he got it so not sure. Some insurance companies cover you for a new windscreen every year. We usually get ours done but haven't got around to it lately. It's usually only $30 extra a year. Raining lol :bash:

 

 

Edited to add: Been thinking... Reckon tint would spoil the granny spec style of the wags... What do you think?

King Springs are not known for their quality.

 

If you want good quality springs in whatever height you desire go through Industrial Springs. They will be cheaper than Kings, made here so you are supporting SA, and will last longer.

 

If you want I can see if I can get some discount through a mate who deals with them. I saved about $30 a pair when I got them through him. They can also do the leaf rears and you will notice their is a group buy on them at the moment in the parts section.

Thankyou Luke!!!!

 

I have noticed the group buy but i am a little scared... i am not very knowledgeable on leaf springs and don't want to put my hand up for the wrong thing! What would be a good set up to accompany some 'Industrial Springs' ???

 

Would STD springs set to my specified height + reversed eyes be ok? and how far would a reasonable drop be? Say 1.5" to 2.0" ??

 

Thanks for your help :P

 

And kim, I was never too keen on tint, i dislike it on any car... :yes:

 

See you saturday!

 

EDIT : The group buy is only for KE1X & KE5X :D

I know nothing about leaf springs and what is required. Find out what you want and get back to me. I can then get you a price.

Does anybody know a rough estimate to chrome a pair of Gavanised roof racks? They are two single poles with brackets... There is not much metal so i am hoping it won't be too much... anyway its just an option :D

 

Thankyou.
