I agree though, raise the front a tad...


Thanks mate', I was wondering why that corolla was following me in and out of the traffic haha :D

The front has been raised and now looks tops.

They were around the $1250 mark delivered to my door

Instructions can be found on there web site I believe

yeah it's not a bad unit but there is now another unit I forget which fits like 7 gauges on one screen but it is a bigger unit and also a fraction of the cost of a scangauge2

Excellent comparison photos. Sure highlights how much lower the NC can go.

What shock does he have on now?

How much of a drop is that on your car?

Also tell your Uncle he needs to get rid of that number plate bracket ASAP! Words are MX5 Plus makes some awesome brackets ;)

Nice height mate, don't go lower. You know, I know.. that's how the rubbing issues start, and.. running over junk!

the shocks we installed were those Tokiko HTS adjustables on standard springs.... he has had 2 std shocks blow out in 35,000kms

as for the drop...not sure will have to measure it. The shocks are a max low on the rear, ill prolly bump up the front a tad to get rid of the raked look

as for the plate bracket....he is not really fussed.. I have a MX+ bracket on mine though :)

Looks like the next mod will be on its way this week sometime

Have just paid for the RoadsterQ and a set of GWR headers.

Was going to get the full combo (with midpipe) but couldnt justify the extra costs involved.

Looking forward to installing these!!
