[gizmobast1d]

well im buying a car soon and the bloke told me i cant take back passangers as its to low?? the set up is ... lowerd 60mm on spax and 17s (i think he has the old 15s aswell) so what could i do as i know 3 friends want me to ferry them to meets and cruises . the bloke has told me he will make it higher for another 100 pound ontop of the price wich i think is alrite. but what should i do as i know nothing about cars so what would be the best set up? cheers

im proper stuck on this 1 :(

[burgo]

get it a then get some standard gsi rear springs and put them in yourself, its really easy to do

[gizmobast1d]

ok mate thanx :lol: realy apriciate it

[Aragorn]

or just buy some 40mm springs for the rear.....

tbh if the alloys are right then u shouldnt have any problems

et45 17's with rolled arch lips should be fine

tbh i'd just buy the car and sort it afterwards

springs are cheap, alloys are cheap too

if everything else on the car checks out its not worth not buying it for that small issue

[gizmobast1d]

yer fcuk it ill jus buy it i realy want it

[burgo]

rite i have come up with a brillient plan and didnt really want to tell anyone but i will, see thats how nice i am. what it is is to buy a pair of rear monroe max air shock absorbers for a buick invictor 1963, these cost ?110 for the pair, then also get yourself a tyre inflator that plugs into your cigeret lighter. then you read this and you'll get where im going http://www.monroe.com/products/mp_detail.asp?cat=0&detail=Max%20Air

[gizmobast1d]

is this a piss take or does it actualy work? :roll:

[burgo]

i swear down it works. i work with a bloke who actually has a buick invictor which is 3 tons of american metal, he has just fitted a pair of these shocks and they raise and lower the car with such ease usin just a normal tyre inflator valve!!!

[gizmobast1d]

easy enuff 2 fit also what shops do them!? lol

[burgo]

you would have to order them direct from monroe i think and the shocks are direct replacement, then you just have some thin air pipes which you would run to the back of the car for easy access

[gizmobast1d]

what about speed bumps should i be worrying about them? :lol:

[Mike.]

just stick some 40mm springs on the rear simple :wink:

[gizmobast1d]

do i have to :| lol! i fort it woulda been ok iv i took it shlooowwww baby!! lol

Burgo -

I have the same setup on both my mountain bikes, air shocks, if you let alot of air out of them it starts to control their ride height.

i think you'l find the suspension will however degrade and go very mushy towards the lower extremes !

it's a bloody good idea tho !

[burgo]

the main thinking behind it is so you can slam it when you get to a show then jack it back up for the speed humps on the way home

[Nick]

yep tis a good idea.

im just saying that there'd be crappy suspension quality IMO
