the codes on springs say they r ssl(super lows), but it sits pretty low i reckon, any ideas y?
jacked the ass up and sum prick cut the springs, wotta goose.
geezus man, they are quite low I was gonna say ultra-lows definately but look lower still.. well now you know. Looks tuff but :P
not very safe however. Have a scan through the for sale section u'll prolly find some springs and fix thngs up..
yea man already on the job lol, lucky its parked at my mums. im gonna jack it up again this weekend and put new shocks and springs in the ass
does ne body hav any pics of their vr/vs on ultra lows? i wana c how low the back is with ultras

cheers dude, looks sweet on ultras.
still waiting on rear rotors to come. hopefully i can do the brakes this weekend, also paint them and peel off tint so i can lay on 15% next weekend.
tried installing my type r 2 way splits yesterday, epic fail
wot method hav people used to make 6.5" splits fit in the front and rear?
Very nice looking ride mate. Ride height looks good, but a tad too low. Ultra lows will be safer and ride a bit better![]()
yea i know, im in the process of gettin sum springs. im contemplating on either super lows to match da front or ultras.
does ne body hav an alternative way to fit 6.5" in the parcel shelf?
maybe try 6.5" and tweeter mounts?

I'd say go with ultras. Normally people go a lower srping in the rear as it helps it to sit more level.
yea i was leanin more towards ultras aswell, ill hav to get a set of shortened shocks too then
finally got my f*****g brakes today, gonna slap them in and maybe put my hu in. i hope in too hard to pull everything apart
just wondering if anybody can photoshop a pic of the car sittin on 18" xhp jet chrome or jet black please?
much appreciated

GO THE ALL BLACKS
havent updated lately, well not much to say.
installed my alpine unit wit the bluetooth module, stil havent put the spilts in yet. i still need to get spacers put in. im thinkin of gettin 16% tint all round wit a fern in the tint for the back
im itching so badly for a manual conversion, although the getrag box is hard to come by![]()
you dont need a getrag go cable its cheaper. and it looks like sumone has fiddled with your speedo (km) unless you have moisture in the car
na thats just dust and dirt man hahaha yea it took me a while to clean it lol. but shes all spick and span now. ok so will a t5 bolt up to a series 2? thats good news
sum photos of the exec and my brothers vr spac
we just put the chopped springs from the exec in the rearof the spac, looks wicked now
that green has always looked good, nice ride!
