Ben-89 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 That repair looks great, nice feathering of the filler too. I'm in the process of doing a similiar thing too. Those mag wheels look pretty good :y: Keep the updates coming. Quote
84Co-Rolla Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 thanks guys, yeh its pretty much done body work wise! now just to make her look pretty :D Quote
84Co-Rolla Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 took her for a drive tonight and when it comes to sharp turns there is a lot of body roll.. how can i reduce that? Quote
Willis Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 With MOAR suspension! Stiffer springs and a decent set of shocks will sort it out. Quote
84Co-Rolla Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 cheers mate, any sugestions? Quote
dpb Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 swaybars make a HUGE difference ultra racing items are available on ebay. also bracing helps my ksev alot. as for springs and shocks depending on your buget you could just cut a coil or 2 out of stock springs for now i wouldnt recomend any more that 2 coils they tend to colaps and drive like arse. also a cheap upgrade is ea-au falcon springs chopped to desired hieght seem to work well in the rear and for the front ae86 struts/brakes or xt130 corona struts/brakes are a great upgrade aswell Quote
84Co-Rolla Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) yeh budget is pretty low as I'm on a foodland wage... think i might just cut them, can i cut all four springs or just the rear? and if i got new king springs would i need new shocks and what brand?

SLW42 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 You can cut all 4 you will need spring compressors for the front ones to remove them at 1st then once they're cut you can just slip them back on with no issues rears are even easier Quote
