What did you do on your car today?

I would strongly suggest something more substantial than the double sided tape. Once you wash the car a few times, and it rains there is a good chance it could come away.

Sold my old iphone 3gs to a friend last night, so I could afford (barely) 2 front tyres. The old ones were literally bald around the outside edge, stock Advan A10A's that lasted barely 21,000kms.

I bought Kumho KU31s in 215/45/18, $180/ea. Planning to replace the rears next month, and do an alignment then (and get then from a ClubCJ sponsor at $11 less each - lol researching after buying). Meanwhile, these feel great so far. Definitely notice less noise gently putting around Sydney's pothole riddled roads.

Got some 18" fin wheels. Previous owner had some garish looking rims on there so went for a clean oem look this time. Loving it

to this 283 page .... somethings not working properly again .... *confused*

@ Cam

Why would you want to fit Harder Springs to your Coilovers ....
that's only going to return a Firmer/Jarring level of Ride Comfort for Road use .... *confused*

If your wanting to Improve the Handling Characteristics .... then simply Adjust the Compression / Rebound Valving ... 1-32 increments.

Spring rates that high for a road car are going to make your fillings fall out and the car unpleasant to drive.The stiffest spring rate I have ever used on my rally car was 180lb (slightly less than 4kg) and it was way too hard.

8kg & 10kg Spring Rates are nearing the rates that Light Drifters use.

Perhaps that's Cam's Intention ....

I just tried driving mine (BCs BR Type) on the HARDEST setting on some sub-urban/urban roads. These come 4kg and 6kg

UNBEARABLE

Unless you're tracking the car FULL TIME, I don't suggest you go 8 and 10.
