Lowered FB

[pr1s0ner]

Looking to replace the old shocks & springs, does anybody make an adjustable suspension kit for an FB?

Gary

[pr1s0ner]

I guess that might be a no!
Looks as if Tokico make a kit, does anybody know if Tokico shocks are available in the UK?

I\'ve got a hunch you\'re gonna have to import from Japan or the US to get anything fancy...but be careful as the tax can be crazy.
 
I am trying to source some coilovers at the moment so I\'ll let you know if I have any luck.

I shipped some stuff from the states a few months ago, and the tax was ridiculous, and annoyingly appeared weeks after the parts arrived and were fitted.
I always enjoy having no idea how much something is going to cost when I buy it!

I had a quick search on the site before I posted, but didn\'t find anything. I don\'t supose you\'ve any idea where I should be looking?

Cheers

Yeah it\'s crazy,I was speaking to Tim (Don Pamponi) last night and he told me about the strut race he shipped in from Oz that ended up costing around 180quid when the actual brace itself only cost around 30. :eek

Oh BTW Gary....a stab in the dark I know but is your FB yellow by any chance?

[pr1s0ner]

Lucky guess!!

[captainbizzaro]

Ha,very lucky! I spoke to you at RS4 and remember asking you your username and I thought it began with G. Hows it all going anyway-are you going to make it to Japfest?

[pr1s0ner]

I\'m aiming to make it to Japfest. There\'s the usual list of things to get fixed on the car, if I can get most of it done, I\'ll be there.
Are you there for both days?

[captainbizzaro]

Only the saturday....won\'t get away with leaving the good lady with all 4 kids for both days!!:Nono!
 
Fingers crossed though I\'ll make the journey in my old boy, AA membership in clenched fist!:D  It would be nice if there was a good show of FB\'s in the show bit after all.

[pr1s0ner]

4 kids!!!! I\'ve only got 2 and thats a good enough excuse to get out of the house for me!
Hopefully see you on the Saturday
