want to lower my car properly (it's been lowered before, but i don't know with what springs, etc, and my right rear spring is sagging. anyway, i need more drop all round. you're on superlows yeh?

anyone know where i can get some for a 323i? should be easy enough to fit myself...just need a spring compressor right?

hey mate i got there for 250 from a friend that didnt want them anymore brand new cos he was getting rid of the car
there going great for me, nice look, low and it handles better with the king springs over the stock

i know a guy that does them for 400 in sunshine fitted aligned and all that
let me know if u are interested

You can buy the springs brand new from Repco for $250, i did. Then i just paid cash to the manager at a local tire shop on a saturday morning and they installed them.

oh schweeet. repco sell king springs for 250? still kinda in the air about this....i do drive my car fairly hard...thinking the stock shocks won't survive the drop...what kinda shocks would be suitable for the drop? or am i better off (forgetting about adjustable nature) with coilovers, cost wise.

i got some kw v1's delivered recently for $1450 US...........

getting my car back from BMW Melb on monday...tried to charge me $3k for repairs to my drivetrain. BMW Aus is giving me a new centre bearing as a goodwill gesture, so i told them to put that in, and give the car back to me, and i'll do the rest myself...got a sizeable shopping cart on pelican parts atm. on the upside, while i'm doing my guibo and gearbox seals, i can replace my shift bushings, and install a short shifter (understeer.com have decent ones for the money, they use OEM BMW ones from diff models that give shorter throws)
gonna try do the dreaded rear diff bushing too, gonna get this drivetrain back to being buttery smooth

I'm in Miami b1tch!!!!!!

And by Miami I mean QLD Sunshine coast ... Looks like I got outta melb just as the sh1t weather was coming in !!!!!!

So where are you staying?

Staying in Noosa

It's hot and humid right now tho...
Im prob like 1.5hrs from Noosa. How long are you up here for?

I'm not here for long ... Just until Friday ... Noosa is pretty dead though ATM ... Last night just consisted of us sitting on the beach drinking ... Then security told us to move on... Apparently the drinking in public rules are pretty strict in QLD

weather has been pretty nice, although it's going to rain soon,


Btw Pulo: is it all good to use a phone on flight mode??? coz I wanna try out that BMW M Meter app while taking off

Yea not much happens at noosa tho, Mooroochydore is slightly better in that sense....
But i guess that is the QLD atmosphere, laid back! lol.
I might be coming down this weekend to Sunshine Plaza but looks like ill just miss you. Enjoy the rest of your time in QLD!

ahaha, yeh it should be...but the M Meter app only works if it remains in a constant position. with the aeroplane taking off, the iphones position will change (as the plane tilts backward). so it'll work for the runway bit while the plane is moving in the same direction, but once you reach V-R and the plane rotates upwards, you're readings will be off, as it'll read the altered relative direction of gravity, as an increase in acceleration.

No they call it flight mode because you shouldn't use it while flying.

Ye we went mooroochydore last year... Wasn't too bad... We were mostly in GC last year which was pretty fun!!!

Ye I'll be gone by the w/e lol...

Lol well Aden try telling the air hostess that.. She made me turn it off, i'm like it's on flight mode and then she's like oh well all electrical equipment must be off ...
