Arrived today - h&r lowering springs. Pics on page 2!

Post by M@Turner »

Well i ordered these last week from orange-tuning and they arrived at my work place today!!! Was very happy with the communication and prompt reply to questions! Highly recommended!

Anyways, want them fitting as soon as possible so my brother shall be taking me to work Saturday, then dropping the car off to have the springs fitted! Can't wait for Saturday to come! :P

Will post pics up as soon they're fitted if i've found my camera by then! :?

i want, or rather, i need seat sport wishbone bushes and powerflow wishbone bushes to stiffen up the steering geometry and correct the steering wheel judder

i want another inlet manifold to have polished up and re fit with the south-west performance inlet manifold power gasket, and will have the pulleys replaced with lightened and balanced items too, these will all be done on the cambelt service on my car which ill get done at 25k miles, currently on 15k

think im going to drop the old girl another 5 mm at the front too

rich, everyone has a list mate haha, funny thing is once you have ticked all the boxes, more comes, it just takes time and you will get there

yeah get all the bits first, then fit them just before you get your map, so your ecu will only have to learn its new perameters once, but saying that, its a self learning continuous learning ecu so wont matter to be fair
