That is a fairly significant drop (35mm)

agentr31 · **Reply #93: September 05, 2010, 09:30:10**

LOL i didnt think so... *shrugs shoulders*

the maxima has had a 50mm drop, my old car had 75mm drop (possibly more hahahaha)

2i30s · **Reply #94: September 05, 2010, 09:36:12**

that's what I've got Ian,it doesn't seen a lot but its low enough for day to day driving without dragging its guts over speed humps. make sure you get a 4 wheel alignment done. cheers steve

agentr31 · **Reply #95: September 05, 2010, 09:51:00**

I haven't been overly impressed with Bob Jane's service but their prices are pretty good although they are a bit "exy" on wheel alignments...

i30s don't have an adjustable camber,front or rear. the rear has toe but that's it. when you lower it you ll get negative rear camber on the rear but not on the front.

agentr31 · **Reply #101: September 05, 2010, 11:00:23**

its the same as the maxima then!!! the only thing adjustable on the back is tow in/out...

ill just ask for a 2 wheel alignment when i get one

2i30s · **Reply #102: September 05, 2010, 11:25:37**

no Ian,when the back gets lowered the wheels get massive toe in because the camber goes negative by about 8 degrees. you need a 4 wheel alignment.

agentr31 · **Reply #103: September 05, 2010, 11:36:44**

lol and there i was thinking i would get out of it cheap!

2i30s · **Reply #104: September 05, 2010, 11:44:10**

from memory its around $60 for a 4 wheel and $45 for the front only.

agentr31 · **Reply #105: September 06, 2010, 09:04:36**

is anyone on here interested in a write up on how to do the springs? i can take pics when i do it... BUT i want to know if there is any point, i mean if no one else plans on doing these things at home, then i would be wasting my time..

BUT if others are interested in doing modifications properly and at home, i can take photos of what to do, then do a simple write up like i did with the boost gauge!

Shambles · **Reply #106: September 06, 2010, 09:07:21**

Sounds like a good idea for the "tips & tricks" section

agentr31 · **Reply #107: September 06, 2010, 09:10:50**

i may as well do it aye... someone else out there may wish to do it!!

Thanks Ian.. it is one of the more popular mods a photo guide would be gr8

agentr31 · **Reply #109: September 06, 2010, 11:57:47**

i just have to remember to take photos! im pretty bad at that part...

Dazzler · **Reply #110: September 06, 2010, 12:06:28**

Take a few photos of each bit if you can and I am happy to pick the best then tidy them up and post them (hosted via photobucket) in your "how to" thread if that helps.. (obviously you would have to email them to me first....)

You could then make a thread set out in point form and I could modify the thread and add the image links... Just a thought as I know you don't get on with photobucket...

agentr31 · **Reply #111: September 06, 2010, 12:12:02**

ohh i get on with photobucket now... *shakes fist at internet*

i had to make a new account though!

2i30s · **Reply #112: September 06, 2010, 12:29:04**

you could do a short video in a step by step layout.

agentr31 · **Reply #113: September 06, 2010, 12:59:10**

LOL im not that good... and i swear WAYYY too much to be on camera!

agentr31 · **Reply #114: September 10, 2010, 02:59:45**

operation "HIGH30" is complete!

im now riding 35mm lower! its not a hard car to work on aye...

pretty much all you need to change the springs is a 12mm spanner, 14mm spanner, 17 socket, 19 socket and a 21 socket!!! plus 2 jacks and a set of car stands!

im uploading pics as we speak!

mantaray · **Reply #115: September 10, 2010, 08:52:20**

Looking forward to seeing the difference and what the job entails. Will this affect the warranty?

2i30s · **Reply #116: September 10, 2010, 10:41:41**

my dealer said it wont affect my warranty,I've got the same springs as agent has fitted.

agentr31 · **Reply #117: September 10, 2010, 11:38:16**

im really saddened today... car got damaged again... this time panel damage and when i tell you what did it you wont belive me...

a bloody trolley, even though i parked a million miles away from any cars, and checked for trolleys...

anyway ive priced up a new front fender its not too bad... probably work out around the same price as my insurance excess

Dazzler · **Reply #118: September 10, 2010, 12:20:33**

Not good m8..

(do you reckon they did it on purpose??)

I parked 3 rows from the door of the supermarket (in an empty row) the other night to avoid panel damage..and copped a mouth full from the wife for parking so far from the entry ...

When I came back out a crappy older car had decided to park next to me instead of closer to the entry in one of the many available spots...

Doesn't that crap you off...

clackerz · **Reply #119: September 10, 2010, 12:21:44**

That's baaaad luck there.....

BTW would love to see the how to lower your i30 doco!
