fitted my new rear shortend shockers to the car 2day, only to find the car has now gotten lower? not even touched the t bar

the wheels started scrubbing :( as many of yous may know its low as f**k already, but now its sat on my drive with like 2inches of alloy in the rear arch and is far 2low feels like im standing next to a toy car not a car!

also can some 1 help me

ripped my std gear nob off 2day took so f**king force im telling theeeee!

but now its maing this small clicking noise when traveling, but if you grab it round the gator it all stops?

very very annoying dont know how fitting a gear nobs caused that? what could have broke when yanking at the old 1!

coil overs will be better?!

not sure mate

its low enought, i bought the car with the idea of going mental on lowering but now its got a bit silly imo

and i feel older people may be laughing at it lol when im driving around
 


ok dean, were you up to the stops on the old shockers? if so how many clicks on the old torsion bar did you give it? cos its probably that you have given it a few too many and you were riding on the limit of them constantly, and now with shorter shocks the limit is less so gone further in.

give a click up on the torsion bar and see how that is mate.

to say its catching a little bit is a slight understatement!!! hell have no tyres left soon lol

at the mo is 1cm lower than mine at the bk, looks like im guna have to get mine lower ;)

the gearbox sound is a bit annoying to say the least, but when u hold the gaitor is stops :S

just a suggestionhere about the gearbox mate, the gaitor on my corsa was tightened at the top with a tie-clip(one of those black plastic things), this is on the inside and the gaitor is then folded over the top. Try lifting the bottom of the gaitor up to see if the clip is rattling against the gearstick inside the gaitor, if it is, chop the end off the clip!

hope this helps mate, sorry about the big splodge of writtin, but its nearly 5am!!!

my gear knob sometimes vibrates, but i have one with leds on and the little battery cap spins round, but only when im clutching it with just about enuff power. i.e reversing it up a steep hill, almost stallin like. Then it shakes like a bit*ch.
