OMG! Some People Are Pure Fools......

Postby dabois85 » November 29th, 2007, 8:05 pm

Heya all,

Well i had an interesting start to the week.. was out at my dads old farm in heathcote in my EA, and well was driving through a slight dipp in road angled enough for rear wheel to extend fully for a sec, well unknown to me, The Moron's that installed the lowered suspension decided the Long factory lite shocks would do in the rear.. so needless to say i got back to my dads after a twisted drive back & jacked up rear of car via body so rear wheel was fully extended, to find that coil spring moves freely when wheel in this position.. lol factory shocks are about 2 inches to long...

so looks like ill be buying some new shocks for rear.. lol and now some spring seats as they were damaged by spring laying on angle...

GRRRRRR!!!!

any recomended Brands For EA FALCON...????

Cheers

Unlucky :(

As for what you should get, it depends on your price range. I love Koni but they are pricey, though they are adjustable which I have found usefull.

Pedders are good also, and cheaper than Koni, though they aren't adjustable.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

If you can't afford Koni's then go for Pedders. They do a model of rear sports shocks that are really fat... manly shocks FTW!

BI6TIM can tell you the model number.
