no i didn't get the suspension from a trader on OH, i got from Top Racing (HK) but i waited a month because they did not have the upper mount in stock.

Nice :-)

Haha, I think he ordered this before his mum put her foot down (on his wallet). LOL!

Nice SS! Not many SS owners go for the upper pillow mount too!

hmmm really? cuz i remember he was still debating whether to get my headers or sussy but wasnt gonna get neither cuz of what his parents said about HSC?

u'll never kick the habit leon! hahaha im telin ya ur gonna keep goin and goin and goin. its a neverending cycle of pouring $ after $ after $ for mods LOL

u just need some better rims and a kit perhaps and u should be sweet

I was just guessing. LOL. Especially considering how quick he is progressing with his mods. He will soon be one of the most modded auto Euros around. :)

Modding,it's a disease.

Driving 15km without alignment should be fine, but i wouldn't drive more than that. Install everything in one hit (including camber kit) and get a full alignment done and you should be good to go.

Regarding the damper settings, go full soft and move up from there until you find a point you are comfortable with. I'd drop it about an inch or so front and back but not more as you might encounter clearance issues with the lower tie bar over speed bumps. I've bent mine slightly already and I only dropped it about 3cm.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

sure will take some photos as i go along, not sure about instruction tho since i m noob in this area lol because i will keep on bugging ben about it. But i need to wait for my camber kit to come in first. i got advan tyres, so i don't wanna just burn them up meaninglessly lol but ya i need to drive around 15km to get to the bobjane.

i thinking about 3cm too. yes i will play around with the damper and see what feels best then decide on it.

3cm drop will be good.I think you've got 16 settings to play around with from soft to hard.:D

I'm running SS and personally I found that a setting of 8 (midway) on the damper adjustment is about the same as stock.
So you have a pretty equal amount of adjustment either way from stock. I have my rear set at 9 and my front at 7 due to the bumpy roads I drive on as it seems a little more forgiving in the steering.
I suggest that you start with a midway setting of 8 and fine tune from there. (16 is bone jarring! )
I have a drop of 5cm and I've had a couple of scrapes, so 3cm will probably safer regarding driveways, speedbumps etc.
Good choice, I can't complain...........:thumbsup:
