I love them because they stop parking scrapes and dents in your back bumper.
And you can tow a box trailer for when you move house etc etc.

That is a good point... i do tow a trailer all the time for gardening stuff, helping mates move, the bike... all sorts of ****.
And Tweak, i have tried to unbolt it... i've used a spanner with a 3 foot steel bar on the end even and the friggen thing won't move.

Its just a bloody shame that its an IRS ass... i can get bloody King Superlows for what Zupps want for FE2's.
Although the fronts are only $33.10 each spring. So looks like i'll do it in a few weeks.
Anyone wanna lend a hand cutting some rear springs? :P

Springs are more expensive, an exhuast is more expensive cos of it, launches aren't as good, tyre wear is faster, and its generally more expensive. Quite frankly its a pain in the bum.

02-06-03, 19:21 GMT+10#76 i don't agree with the irs being crap.. with a camber kit your tyre wear probs
drop considerably.. with it the car squats when takin off which i think
would give better traction...
get more power for better launches
and i'd like to see u cut the irs rear end springs..
the ones in my car have small coils on either end with the normal size in the middle..., have a geez when u jack your car up next rob

FE2 Springs - $33.10 for the fronts each spring, and rears were $104.50 each. Labour for the fronts is only $130 so to pull the thing down would be
$405
