| Robbed my truck of the G60's :I so here's a pic with them on my van. Also shows the standard height as i in the process of flipping the axle at the mo.  Was'nt going to lower so soon but a pair of brand new front janspeed coilovers came up on ebay for £95 buy it now(thanks ady) so i had to have them Collected them today as they was local before stripping the rear down when i got back. Good job i decided to do the flip sooner as when i disconnected the flexi pipes, no fluid came out lol  , weird really as it all looks like its had an overhaul recently from the signs of it having new brake shoes and all moving parts being coated in copper slip. MOT up on the 26th aswell. Here's a pic of the wheels that was due to go my truck, unfortunately the paint has slightly reacted in places so i've demoted them to daily's. I've stripped my silver rm's so i can use the lips on these and repaint the baskets ready for my truck. Work will do them for free in any colour  . Pic dont do these justice but they candy cherry  Going to see if its cheaper to rechrome original bolts rather than spend loads on new 1's. Will put some more pic's up tommorrow of the newly slammed van if i get it all done before dark. _________________  Paintwork Restorer and odd job man!. PM me with enquiries |

| Now lowered Few pic's for you all Wanted to go a little lower with this 1 so decided to place the mounting plates on top of the other plate found on mk2 axles. I then used some plumbing aluminium tape to cover the old locating pin hole  Least if i decided to put blocks in, i'll be able to drop a bolt straight through rather than having to remove again just to drill another hole. Painted over with hammerite  I then coated it all with sealer along with the bare metal area's where i removed the spare wheel cage brackets. Pic of the rear stack  Rear all done  Original fronts  95 quid janspeed coilovers  Was dark by the time i finished so here's a couple of crappy pic's just to show it lowered   Will wait for fronts to bed in and settle before adjusting them again What ya thinks now then  _________________  Paintwork Restorer and odd job man!.
