Definitely sounds like a shock length problem then rather than spring rate. A customer in a Primera used to have the same issue as well. Why don't you try changing the shocks back to your old ones to see if the issue disappears?

I thinkthe best way for us to try and solve this is to attach the spacer to the back of the wheel and put a hubcentric ring in the spacer. Bring all your shizz in and we will have a look at it for you. We may need the wheels for a few days, and it goes withut saying .. you wil need a cert.

Going down a different route to everyone else, and after having similar problems in a different car (a lowered RAV4 with shortened shocks ). To me, it still seems like your shocks are too short and are topping out causing it to bounce around (the springs are under too much compression). Have you tried putting your old standard shocks back in and seeing if this makes any difference? Food for thought perhaps.

have new ones available from $129 each incl fitting and balancing. They are pretty budget though!

I must admit it took me about 10 mins to read his auction and try to figure out exactly what it said. That is the trouble with Generation Me - Tehy don't write or speek the gud England

They are Jamex springs and will give a 45-50mm drop from standard factory ride height. Don't Forget - you NEED a cert if you want to get compressed springs so add another $400 to your price of $180. Personally I would never compress springs - the ride quality is just so bad after they have beed tampered with.

what about this sik BMW - it's been worked http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-293323247.htm

It's ok mate I was just playing around - slow day at work. Maybe you could have stated that the pants and shirt are not listed in your original post to save confusion

We have AC Schnitzer style in stock. Check Trade Me auction 294098156 for pictures. Nice and easy to fit and paint cheers

from C0SM0S The next meet is Thursday June 17th. and again at Fibber McFee's in the Botany Junction shopping centre. The cost should be around the same as the last meet (about $10.00 per head). For that we got heaps of finger food. So diararise that date 17th. of this month.

We have new springs in stock that will give you that drop for $379 fitted. You do realise if you compress your springs you will need a cert?

only 12 left!

the combined buy now is only $405

The best thing to do is ring him and find out. His number is listed on the auction. If he sounds iffy/sketchy give it a miss.

none coming soon but there should be something very special in the next shipment Hopefully here very soon, final price hasn't been sorted yet but definitely under $800 for a brand new set

There is already a bi-monthly meet http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....6331&st=105

205/50/16 is the closest tyre to OE spec assuming it came with 195/65/14's standard

We have managed to secure a limited number of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tyres for an exceptional price! $169 each incl fitting and balancing!! Available at any of our 5 stores nationwide and only while stocks last! Promotion ends June 30th 2010 or when stocks run out!

What do you call cheap? Have brand new wheels due to land in the next week or so.

We have a couple that can be sold. They both have minor niggles (as do all cars of this age) but the price will probably be right for you. One is a Silver 735 V8 and one is a Blue 740 V8. You are welcome to come and check them out. I will have the 740 at the Auckland meet tomorrow.

Happy Birthday John

what about an E38 7 series? Bigger, more comfy and cruisier than a 5!

From a business point of view it is still the best "bang for buck" in terms of advertising. Unfortuantely, currently there is no real alternative. It reaches the biggest audience for the least amount of money spent. Trade Me seems to have become ingrained in people's psyche. We spend over $1k a month on listings, store fees and success fees. This year we will also have a stand at Speedshow. To give you an idea of costs - ONE WEEKEND @ Speedshow = TWO MONTHS on Trade Me. Radio advertising, especially in Auckland is too fragmented, at last count there were over 40 radio stations in the Auckland Region. From our point of view putting up the gallery pricing will hopefully drive out some of our competition that are finding it hard at the moment. We will have to bear the cost and it also means we will have to become smarter in the way we advertise. We spend a lot of time on Trade Me, there really is an art to listing items and successfully selling them. We are also a store which means poeple can contact us directly and are able to come and view the items before they purchase.

I can't see the silver belts

Nice work Lance! Bring it round when it is road legal and we can ogle it over a coffee!
