Slamming Bora 4Motion?

[sukebe]

sukebe - yes, that's the car!!

I spent a whole Saturday checking out Bora 4Motions in Sydney. Almost gave up hope after seeing the poor condition most of them were in and the rather high asking prices. Then I checked out this one and it was in mint condition! I knew I wanted to get it right away. Don't think there was any mention of the KW Variant 2s on the online ad for it either, so that was a nice bonus. And yeah, definitely a great price

You're right, the car did sit very nicely. I've lowered the front maybe another 1.5cm but left the rear for now. Still looks good.

I'd like to be able to put some 19s on it and lower it more for when my mood suits. But for daily driving the current set up with the 17s is just fine.

Sorry I got in before you but so glad I did. Couldn't be happier with the car! Did you end up finding yourself another Bora or are you still looking?

It wasn't mentioned in the Carsales ad that it had KW V2s, but the ad he put on here did.

I couldn't find another that came close to yours in terms of condition, mods and price, so I ended up getting a mint stock-as-a-rock example (for the same price you paid with the fruit). It will cost me more as I want to do a few mods, but thats OK. If you are ever thinking of selling those wheels, I'll take them. I had my VR6 modded fairly heavily and I want to stay fairly conservative with the Bora. I reckon your wheels are the perfect balance for what I'm looking for.

As for lowering it further, I think the lowest level with the KWs should keep you happy. Any lower and you will have all sorts of problems like sway bars rubbing, rear susp not operating well, potential punctured sump (quite low on the 4motion).

No worries mate, I'll let you know if I ever decide to offload the Oettingers.

I think I'll install the custom rear springs over the next week or so. Will be doing it with the KW shocks in place just for testing purposes to see if there's any rubbing (or grinding!) of parts lol.

Thanks for everyone's input to this thread - I'm sure I'll be in contact with a few of the shops mentioned in the coming weeks.

i hope that you dont have many speed humps around where you drive. I have adjustable bilsteins on my v6 and i have to have them no lower than half way otherwise my fuel tank scrapes even when i take them very slowly, especially when you got a few friends in the back..
