Just be aware that your inner clearance from strut to wheel will be reduced with coilovers because the spring will sit lower.



Should have been done aggggggggggggges ago man farout, how many degrees are you going?

Ahh! I'll keep that in mind, cheers brah!

Probs up to 1.5deg camber...dunno yet, the camber plates are adjustable with toe/camber/both so I'll have a fiddle and see what I can get!

They're those round things you can get made of plastic or whatever they are lol...does anyone have any advice/suggestions for me? They aren't here yet but when they are I'll take a look at the preset positions on the instructions.

Those camber discs are what I had on the Hecti, not bad, though 1.5 is ef all. Get some fat washers

Hahah interesting. No wonder you said they were universal!

1.5 for me *should* mean about 12mm inwards clearance at the top of the tyre....if I did my geometry anywhere near correctly.

Well...

Apparently VR6 exhausts in America are different! The cat setup must be a different length because the kit I got sent had about 7 inches too much piping from the resonator to the cat. My mate and I tackled my exhaust today and what was going to be a two hour job turned into a lazy 6 hahah. We oxy-torched the middle section apart to start with and unclamped/dislodged the rubber mounts/clamps to remove the old exhaust. After realizing the new resonator piece was too long we cut the end of it off, fit the exhaust up leaving it disconnected to the cat, measured up the pipe and took the resonator off and re-welded it.

Hooray! I've got a few pics and a clip uploading now.

Pics don't work for some reason just yet so here's the video

sounds tough dude, definitely going to add it to the wish list

Cheers bud just be mindful everyone, if you order from the US they might have the same problem with the resonator>cat pipe being too long, so it will need to be shortened! (my mate is a certified welder so I wouldn't suggest DIY unless you're good with those tools!).

nothing is ever ***** easy is it well done though. Is the other vid of the same exhaust? or your old one?

The other vid on youtube is the old exhaust. This one is more burbly, less dull and it's made the car feel faster and doesn't pop/backfire much now

Very nice. Very clean sound it appears, not much drone I hope?
