will get better pics soon, wanky phones pics

[steveos_16valver]

its so shit ride cause you are running standard shocks.

if you get a set of 60mm lowering shock and a new set of 60mm rear shocks your wide will be inproved consideribly more that it is now

looks good low

[Coops]

good effort mate, but u can get the back lower! :wink:

[Scott-16v!]

much better mate 8)

[wavy]

good work m8 looks great

[samboRT]

i will get some more pics later lads, it looks mint and will be purchasing some Avo or Apex lowered shocks also, should improve the ride and handling dramatically!

Coops- it is sitting even lower now the shocks have bedded in at that hright, getting a few bits sorted when i get home from work and will get some looooow pics! :)

[Gav]

lower lower lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andy P]

I ran standard shocks on my lowered RT for all the time i had it, it was fine. Save the money for a valver :twisted:

Looks good, especially in that stance 8)

[clowo16v]

I wanna know how much mine is lowered I was told 60mm but mine looks lower than that. Looks great btw, just needs some deep dish 13s or 14s and smoothing now lol.

[samboRT]

lol, yeah mine is on -60 mm apex at the front, these should settle in a touch more, now after settling in about -70mm or so on the torsion bar :D

dead chuffed, took some pics yesterday and will upload them when i get home! :)

[Lunner]

Why is he messing with the hub nut? :?

[samboRT]

to fit the new discs? lol

i didnt know half the stuff he was doing, it worked though!

you need to remove it to remove the disc dont you, as well as the torqs screw ones

[Justin..]

it looks more like he's putiing the discs grub screw in

[Coops]

yeah he's jsut refitting the torx grub screws, impressed you still got em mate, most of mine have sheared off!!lol

no need to touch hub nut to do fronts!

[samboRT]

we were also changing the pads aswell as discs if that means anything? lol

will the disc come off without removing the hub nut?

[Coops]

yep, u need to remover caliper and carrier to get it off easily, but cuz the bearings are seperate the hub nut can stay on, hub nut only holds bearing and driveshaft in! 8)

[samboRT]

ooo i see, oh well, we did it anyway haha :D

[Lunner]

Last 2 cars i've had torx screws have been in and working, only this car has both sheared off in both hubs, makuies doing stuff like changing ball joints etc and being lazy and not removing the disc more difficult

[Coops]

mine are sheared on one hub, same hub i've stripped one road bolt on n all, new hub on the way we feel!!

can still get the disc off tho! 8)
