Guys...

After some info.

A while back i installed SK's bilsteins shocks and springs... all was great for a while...

Noticed now though that suspension sounds really harsh.... doesnt like bumps at all. Any sudden hits or bumps results in some pretty serious thuds... doesnt sound healthy at all. Shocks are doing their job, car isnt bottoming out or anything like that....just some deep sounding thuds. Car is on 18's with fairly low profile tyres, slighlyu lowered but dont ever remember it being this loud.

Could this be worn bushes? On my last service i remember a mention of caster rod bushes and i think A frame?? bushes. Being silicon filled i understand they are prone to leaking etc....

More than happy to buy some from SK as part of the group buy, but just wanted to make sure that these are the symptoms of worn bushes...

Thanks guys....

SK expect a PM and some money changing hands!

Had a quick look, isnt anywhere near as bad as what you experienced.... Who knows, silicon could of leaked already for i know...

Guess the symptoms really depend on what particular bushes are worn as well....

For the price though, doesnt hurt in changing... just wondering if it will fix my problem.

      Eibach wheel spacer

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi    have purchased pair of eibach wheel spacer as I couldn’t fit set of wheels I bought for my car due to it catching caliper.   I know I need to cut the bolts on my discs so they sit flush with the nut supplied but the nut doesn’t sit all the way into the groove meaning wheel would not directly fit onto the spacer rather the nuts. Any thoughts?   See pic   https://ibb.co/VJK5w5G

      Disposing of shocks/struts?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. There's not shit tonnes of pressure in there. Just drill with a 1.5mm drill or something equally tiny. When the drill goes all the way through thee gas will start to come out, but with such tiny path through the flutes of the drill bit, it won't be at all dangerous. You can be as paranoid as you like from then on. I'd just pull the drill out while keeping my face out of the line of fire. But then, I spend half my time looking into pressurised furnaces. So my risk acceptance is somewhat higher than most!

      Been needing a new clutch for a while, but holding off because of life tingz and adulting. But... Being of Asian descent, I can't pass on a good sale, especially everyone else is selling it for $2k+ (JJR has it for $1799). Really on the fence on this one, because the unsprung version of this is $1281 via Shitbox (Sparesbox) and the sprung version is quite a bit more (no idea why Shitbox doesn't offer them). Ending up just sending it and getting the twin sprung organic. Mainly because I wanted the car to be nice to drive and didn't want to make it more of a shitbox than it already is.
