    Default How to lower your car.

    1. Buy all necessary parts, and possibly some unnecessary ones too.

    2. Look under car and realize you have no idea what your looking at. But decide to go ahead anyway.

    3. Buy all the tools you think you will need, realize it would have been cheaper to get shop to install gear, but justify expense by thinking you'll use them later.

    4. Getting thirsty at this point.

    5. Try to take wheel nuts off, but end up taking skin off knuckles when socket comes off because the mechanic used a rattle gun to put nuts on last time.

    6. Swear a lot and get even more thirsty.

    7. Buy bigger breaker bar, because size does matter!

    8. Loosen nuts, jack car up, take tyre off. Then realize you don't have a chassis stand. So put tyre back on and go buy stands. At this point realize you have spent much more $ then getting it professionally installed. Swear more, get more thirsty.

    9. Jack car back up, chuck stands under, take tyre off, and then stare some more because you were too cheap to buy manual to explain what the hell you are doing.

    10. Skin yourself some more trying to take off nut you think is right one, its not, do it back up.

    11. Throw spanner across room, invent new swear words, put tyre back on, put car back down and head to nearest liqueur store to quench thirst.

    12. Can't decide what beer to buy, so you decide to buy them all, because hey you have already wasted enough bloody money.

    13. Load them all into car.

    14. Step back and holy crap........you've lowered you car. Celebrate with a beer or 50.







    Lame I know, but I was bored. And yes I loaded and drove that car for work.

    Remind's me of Dumster's car when I had it. Mind you it was 8 sets of rims in the VP. Poor thing could barely cope.
