Hey all,
Got back to Syd from 10 weeks in Perth yesterday. Had the new coilovers installed last week. (a mate took it in for me) Haven't driven the Bora since i left BUT when i came ive noticed a problem with the ABS. The ABS ant T/C light are coming on and once when pulling away from the bottleshopit sounded like the ABS was locking the front right wheel for a couple of seconds without any pressure on the brake pedal whatsoever. The ABS light came on then no grinding from then on. Any ideas?
My mate said he noticed something strange with the brakes on the way to get the coilovers installed. Could it just be that it hasnt been driven in so long somethings stiffened up and just it needs a good thrashing?
Also, in regards to the coilovers. The car looks heaps better but im gonna have to get used to the stiff ride! They're the K-Sports. It handles like an animal now but it very stiff for everyday driving. How much can the stiffness be adjusted?
Cheers
Nathan
