Jizzo New Member 18 Member For: 10y 10m 26d Posted 30/01/15 05:14 PM Author Share Posted 30/01/15 05:14 PM I did look at those after reading all the reviews on here and another Ford forum.The only thing that puts me off them is the price.If I was local, it wouldn't be an issue. But I'd have to pay customs/gst as well to bring them into NZ and then cert.Would end up being closer to $3000 for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke187 Member 297 Member For: 10y 11m 17d Posted 05/02/15 08:14 AM Share Posted 05/02/15 08:14 AM Im running off the shelf king springs and bilsteins with whiteline front bar and nolathane bushes all round. If you live in QLD I'll take you for a drive, for a 1700kg family wagon its pretty impressive how well it handles. With cheap achillies front tyres I can pull over a 1g in cornering which is as good as most people get with r35's, and the car feels super nimble changing directions and turn-in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jizzo New Member 18 Member For: 10y 10m 26d Posted 05/02/15 09:19 AM Author Share Posted 05/02/15 09:19 AM (edited) Had the Teins fitted earlier today. Set them at 350mm, but can't get down my driveway now.Going to have to raise it up tomorrow.My rear shocks were absolutely rooted though, bushes had collapsed at one end.Feels really good now, possibly bouncing around a bit too much though. Might need to harden the dampening up?Have Whiteline sway bars fitted front and rear as well. Edited 05/02/15 09:19 AM by Jizzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
