Fair douz......the guy at the garage said the opposite about the settling, but i'll just see how it goes. | |

I think you might be dissapointed waiting for the eibachs to settle, I had them on my old 306 and they didn't go any lower after a year, than when they were first fitted. Torsion bars can be lowered (if done properly) any amount, not just in notches. If it has been done incorrectly it can lead to problems with rear trailing arm bearings. | |

wont be cheap primer, will just be a different type, some paints react with another, thats why you should use a barcoat/isolater. | |

quote: cheers mate......... i'm not sure on the colour code coz i've seen a few sigma blue 306s all C-C'd, but i personally dont like it. Its all a bit too much. Due to the fact i have tints, i'm thinking of going along the lines of having the strips, bumper tops and boot strip sprayed in a dark grey metallic (like anthracitey).......to keep it nice and broken up, but without the need to constantly back2black the thing! :lol: :thumbs: any more ideas?

quote: Thats just one "notch" mate. Usually drop the car 40-45mm, but in my case, the car was sitting high to start, and so the total drop was like 60mm :( Which is too much of a drop for me really....the car doesnt look so level, so i'm gonna book it back in to have it done in "increments", and get them to match the heights. :D | |

quote: 2 weeks ago i didnt know the primer was cheap did i Drew?? ;) Only found out once i went to get the bonnet sprayed up that the stuff is notorious for the reaction that they got!! Once i described the can type/colour etc, the geeza straight away knew the issue! i feel touched that u remember my posts from 2 weeks ago in detail tho :D :lol: I left my smooth boot on my corsa for a month before i got it sprayed up, and the bodyshop sorted that no probs! Same with my BB bonnet etc Matt | |
