BJK's '95 GPX

[bjk]

Well, I'll see. I do suspect that I'd probably get used to it. But if it's not going to cost me any more, I don't see the disadvantage to getter softer springs. Would mean I wouldn't have to wind the damper all the way down for it to be comfortable, and gives me more adjustability further up?

[c3rbera]

Rhetorically speaking, that'd give you less adjustability on the way up...but your logic is gonna split hairs.
The point is there is a comfortable point with these. Like it exists full stop. Let's not forget your car probably isn't a magic carpet as it is anyway.

But as food for thought, don't neglect the 'quality' variable in this either, apparently different shocks will handle the compression differently even if the spring rates are the same so I wouldn't go relying on that alone (someone correct me if wrong). You've got several people vouching for these already, would have more too. Honestly just go for another joy ride, you might be mildly surprised.

[vipfto]

As ruby says your really splitting hairs again. But my suggestion is first get tyres and your wheels to fit then look at suspension.

My BC v1's feel like a normal car on medium.

On hard they arent even that harsh, they feel softer than Sahin's Struts and Springs.

Mine's really stiff

I split hairs well. (literally as well as metaphorically it seems.)

That's the plan. Thinking I'm going to have to make another phone call to insurance about getting this money back, otherwise it might be getting a bit tight when it comes to paying the other bits for the shop, and tyres, and guard rolling, ngehh..

[bjk]

However-many-times-a-charm! Insurance has agreed to credit me the reimbursement! The shop's info must've finally swayed them over, although the lady on the phone sounded a little... I dunno, it was strange tone of voice. Kinda weary, haha. But I have been heckling them for a few weeks and inadvertently giving them headaches, so I guess it was a little justified.

Going straight to my bank account, so hopefully will have processed by Friday. Which means I can afford tyres and guard rolling without stress. Whoo.

Moar Pantene?

And woooo! That's awesome to hear.

[bjk]

Heh, maybe I should try. Think this mop is a bit beyond repair now, cutting it aside.

I was pretty surprised, really. She put me on hold for a bit while she reviewed the notes for my claim, and basically as soon as she got back on she told me that it would be put through, no fuss. Quite relieved.

[Andym]

wooo great news. I'm excited to see these wheels on the car!

lol, me too. Sometimes I just take one wheel out of the box and look at it.

[bjk]

*sigh* Shop is behind on a few cars work, and found a bit more damage on mine. Won't get it back until Tuesday at this stage.

[Technikhaus]

I know the feeling when it's put back.
When they put my bumper on (A year ago ) the paint failed to adhere the first time around, and that it back two more days

[bjk]

It was all that kept me going thursday night too. Ah well. If anything it just means it'll be another payday before I have to pay them. And I don't have to pay for the hire car till then.

[bjk]

:astron:

So it finally happened. Well, halfway there. Tyres are on the wheels, but the car is conspicuously absent. Ended up going for the Kumho KU31's again as I had on the front of my stockies, 235/45R17. 5% bigger than ideal, but for $140 a pop I'm not complaining. Cheaper than the 16's that I bought in Canberra.

Picture spam because:

[Andym]

that is going to look FAT (in a good way) will be good fun through the twisties.

lol, don't people usually use PHAT for that?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to see how these handle! Hopefully without scrubbing my guards to sh*t, haha.

[Sahin]

should get some lock nuts lol

[bjk]

I might just park up against a wall everywhere I go, haha.
