There is nothing dodgy about my car or the way it is lowered. :jab:

Thats true you dont need to.

But alot of people would like new stuff on their car, so atleast you know that you did it and its history, if that makes sense.

As for shocks, I guess that is personal too, but my fronts are knackered so there no point just doing one end.

You also forgot out labour, not everyone has the tools, patience and knowledge to do it.

Mine still got standard 4X4 spec but once i finish yr12 it'll change pretty quickly.

[XPfalcon170]

Firstly, don't yet have the cash to spare :(
Secondly, cant yet be motivated to get it done,
And thirdly, need to get my interior finished

Handy though having it 4x4, cause you don't need to slow down for speed humps lol

well you don't need many tools at all and I think a monkey could change the springs in an e-series. I totally see you point, but I was just saying that it can be done cheap and not dodgy. Especially since half the people in this thread whinge about the 4wd spec e-series. If anyone in East burbs wants springs installed i'll do it for a slab.

That's about as high as my car. What is the go with what looks like a pole sticking out the bonnet?

[NC_GHIA]

I get asked that whether in the car or out of it (I'm 6"4' and as for my car, see below)


And I thought I'd also throw in my parent's car

[Junkz0r]

Hahahah it's trick photography!

truth is the pole is ummm in the very foreground and is a piece of a wing chime (didn't notice that til now)... and the car is actually sitting on about a 25 degree driveway. ;) They are 17" wheels!

It's still way high though... Sadly lowering it is low (hahahah punny) on the list of priorities (stupid *** battery died tonight not happy).

:P

[NC_GHIA]

yours still aint that high...


A 25drgree angle has nothing to do with it. It looks like its flat(the car)..

[fmc351]

Thats not high.


Mines got std snowflake 15's and I could fit another rim above them. Well maybe not quite. Given the driveways I go down, Im thinking of getting a lift kit.

(only has standard xr6 suspension, front isnt too bad but the back is up just that bit too far!)

[gthofan]

i went to the tyre factory to check out some rims, the guy at the counter asked me if i had heightened the car. :(:( what a self esteem killer :(

[335JET]

since i put the el xr rims on, it looks as if the car was hightened, i think this is because of the lower profile of the tire.

[DEVL-XR]

haha just found an old photo of my car 4wding!!
enjoy!
