Front Shocks now sold.

Question about the fronts. Any rubbing with the tyres or guard rolling etc?

According to an offset calculator they sit 39mm out further that 15x7 et 24's and i wondered what issues you'd encountered with that?

Cheers

No guard rolling and no tire rubbing at all!

Only thing i can think of when the tire would rub is pulling into a driveway too fast with the wheels turned and the shock travel making it rub on the guard lip. But i guess knowing how to drive a low car eliminates that.

Photoshoot time!

Massive massive thanks to Jason (SIR E30) for the awesome shots.

Enjoy, cheers Blair

Midweek bump!

Agree with both Peter and Ethan above!^^

Put it on a track and its a different question, better to have a bit of both worlds i reckon.

Sorted cheers to flake!

Legend!

Oh hell yes! looking mint, good choice on the rim colour too! ilike.

Hey guys im after a set of these, they lock the front shock into the strut and are threaded.

Only thing stopping me from getting my car back on the road.

Cheers Blair

Bit of both, i read good reviews on the KU31s and the other options i was looking at, Goodyear eagle f1s and Toyo t1rs are out of stock in nz for 4 months so this was pretty much my only option. If i were to go any wider they wouldn't have fitted.

i got 215 40 16

Cheers guys i ended up going for the Kumhos!

Got tires on my 16x9s, SIR E30 and i removed all my suspension ready for the Konis, then installed new front and rear swaybars with nolathane and new links.

I'll tell you whats better when you post a pic of these wheels

Soo aparently there aren't and Goodyear eagle f1s in the country in my size eather.

So can get a Hankook K110 v12 evo tire for 175 ea

The Kumho KU31 tires are 210 ea.

decisions decisions!

Hey guys i have been tyre shopping this morning for my new rims and have come to the conclusion between these 2 tires, the Goodyear Eagle F1 or the Kumho KU31. I was after Toyo T1R's but theres none in the country.

So i would just like to know if anyones used these two tires and what they thought were the pros and cons etc. Cheers in advance

Nice work mate!

haha nothing to update sorry lads.

I got made redundant back in December and am still out of work.

I decided against the Bilstiens and am going with adjustable Konis! cheers to Nath and Paul for sorting them! (mainly because of the cost of buying, then rebuilding would be more than going brand new Konis, and the Konis are adjustable). So i basically just have to pay for them and a few other suspension bushes , get them delivered and then get some descent tires sorted and i can chuck it all together!
