Default Finally lowered ..

Hey Guys,

Took my car in for a service, got the usual stuff done - Upper Engine Cleaner, Injector Cleaner .. Pod Filter Clean, Oil .. Oil Filter etc etc, and at the same time decided to go lower!

Had some King's fitted (KSRL-24SL) - And yes i never thought i'd put Kings in either, but the ride is sweet as. At the same time, had a Anti-Lift kit fitted as well, and understeer is a thing of the past !!

Free plug for the workshop - They are just starting up, and can do anything from a scheduled service, all the way up to a turbo change and roll cage fabrication - Platinum Automotive in Jandakot - Ran by Rob Webber and Nigel (Someone) who are involved in Rally Aus.

Still running stock struts, but am totally stoked in the improvement in handling - And can finally keep that pedal nailed to the floor when going around tight corners. Posted a image, can't really see a difference, but it's no longer a tractor, but not totally slammed either.

PM me if you'd like more info on these new guys who are starting up. I have had nothing but a professional job from them, and are the only people i trust with my car, apart from ASG!

Cheers!

Nigel Bombak is his name.
Used to do contract work for Darryl Penley ( Automotive Tuning Centre) and Leigh at RMS.

Have worked alongside him on Rally Oz when we crewed for a 3 car Jap team.
Not a bad guy...
Tell him I said that too.lol

Cheers
Ken

You'd probably also benefit from the roll centre adjustment kit! Cheap, but good little mod!
