Sure as hell Glad I don't have to deal with them!!!! Sorry you aren't saying the same thing.

This one time I got a quotation for the rubber for my sunroof glass and it was $900 plus VAT

Ohh and they told me that I would have to wait 3 months to get it too....I said fcuk that. I must find a crash somewhere and replace the glass

Nice price on the drop springs. I want to lower my ride height but the drop these springs give is too low for me. Coilovers are out of my price range and i'm not looking for performance.

Any alternatives?

i had those same springs on ,but i used the circle rubber lifter for the front , it worked well but i end up selling the springs and cut the stock springs 1.1/2 coils off the front and back and it dropped as low as the megans but smoother ...........now when yuh cut the back springs u will have to heat the end and close it in abit ..because it will slip off when yuh trying to mount it up

[turbo_beast369]

^^^I don't ever recommend cutting springs...yea it cheap and u get a lower ride and it rides good BUT your shocks won't last at all..you actually puttin exta strain on them...remember one function of the spring is to use the tension to basically push the tyre on the road so you get grip when driving...when you cut the spring, there is less tension so it would actually be unsafe because you have less traction

What are d spring rates on those coilovers?

[turbo_beast369]

Those are CS5W coilovers
Cusco Vacanza Wagon
Front: 6.0 kgf/mm
Rear: 3.6 kgf/mm
Not fully adjustable tho

[BrotherHood]

I took a coil off each spring on my last car(first ride), BJ 323. IMO, got the feel I wanted on the road and the look and the shock sort of lived life in it's entirety before I had to change them. When I did have to, it was only the rear.

With that said, in bad roads, I really take my time.

with that being said drop springs shouldn,t be used either

[xtech]

u also need drop shocks to go with drop springs......cause obviously u will bottom out the OEM shocks with every bump

[BrotherHood]

What are these drop shocks? What brand? Where can I purchase and around what price am I looking at?

[xtech]

many brands available

for example...........see link

Very informative link there that answered all my questions. Thanks for that.

So I can walk into any auto parts/accessories store and ask for these drop shocks in whatever brand that place may retail or have?

It hasn't happened as yet because he is talking sheit dude. I'm happy to hear you got your ride dude and at the same time I coasting on the sheit d dealer did. Take the car to your mechanic or anyone you may know with an air compressor and have them blow out the spark plug chamber for you. There is a nozzle that attaches to the air hose which will do the job just fine. The car should be fine afterwards.
