I have a set of droplinks .. Cost me about $100+ ... Will sell em on the day if need be..Bennoz wrote:Sounds like we may just have to do the swaybar then. Do you have droplinks for it? Because you need them to connect it.
And I think I got confused by some chingrish in there "change suspension spring".... I thought it was only 1. Doing all 4 is about 2 hours worth of work...
I just had to add it ......

But in comparison to tappets, it's easier.

Re: DIY Day 14th of August.
okay, so i've been told about the thread from lawso, but haven't actually been told anything other than its on...
i'd be totally up for this, and will probably end up driving lawso there if i go, but have to get out of family stuff first (nothing special... just a gathering)
the only thing i need doing to my car is need my boost gauge wired in. the pressure hose is already connected, but i can't see it at night courtesy no power :p it just needs to be spliced into the dash light wires (could be interesting...) otherwise i'll just be there to get my hands dirty and pull some cars apart

I have about 3kg's of bacon, 1kg of chicken snags, 3kg's normal snags and about 1.5kg's of cube roll
I hope every one has got or is getting the stuff tomorrow they need for the weekend.
