my 310, A15 5speed, nothing fancy

welcome aboard dude, what are your plans for the old girl?

Nothing Fancy Looks pretty mint to me!

Dude, you MUST bring this beast on the Akoroa cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shell be getting the CA treatment one day lol, its not that tidy close up tho, id like to get her all painted up mint and get some decent wheels on it but that requires money that i dont have and yea i shud be there this year, was going to be there last year but wasnt able to make it,

im wanting to get this thing about 30 40 mm lower, its currently got low cobra springs all round, are ya able to get them compressed? havent really had much experiance in the lowering department, id like to get lower on the cheap if i can any ideas ??

yeah you can compress them but i find compressed springs seem to start losing their tension - i recommend looking for super low springs or custom springs

bellemy and east (spelling) in falsgrave st can compress your springs for you. No idea what that costs though. Then you just need to have your shocks shortened. You could shorten your shocks and just cut your springs. If you have fewer coils, the spring will be stiffer. More coils, means a softer ride. I Have compressed coils in my shitfiro, and with a carload of people, the rear sags to fuck, and rides awful.

yea im just not to keen on cutting my cobra springs cuz they cost me a good 350 bux i do have a set of standard ones around but the cobras are alot thicker than the standard ones , do ya just need to shorten the rear shocks? or all of em? what would it cost for shortend ones,

if your shocks are in good condition, you just pay someone to shorten them. Short shocks reduces the amount of droop travel, and keeps the spring captive. I'm sure someone else will suggest a place that can do it.
