string Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 how are ya bcs setup because mine are wound fully down and yours rear looks alot lower. have you compressed the spring a bit aswell? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom2 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Sorry mate only just saw this! No if yu compress the spring that won't make any difference In height only the spring rate! You need to wind the top 2 rings down so the spring becomes loose, not to much though, inch tops! This just means the spring rate on the rear will not be adjustable as your sacrificing it for a lower ride height! It also means your loosig some suspesion travel but I've had no issue in doin this! Hope this helps bud!CheersTom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 yeah i get ya. ok mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom2 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Little update gents!!As some of you may know had my car mapped at AFR tuning and made 230 bhp but with the injectors maxed at 100% cycle rate lol! So recently received a set of 380 cc injectors from a lad off the forum riko666 ( top lad ) and ordered a RRFPR from TM developments to bring the cycle rate down so its a bit safer!! Booked in at AFR this monday for fitment and a retune! Will update with results when i mapping is doneCheers Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Sounds good buddy looking forward to the results Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Omar Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Great Result Tom with the awesome list of parts and I am loving the all black. One question, why did you chose the Gizzmo MS2 over the usual suspects (Blitz, HKS, Greddy)? How is it in action?I have a gizzmo dual stage shift light; it is awesome and one of my favourite things on my car. Its set up is just different from any shift light that I seen and the LEDs are the brightest. I was thinking about getting the boost controller (MS-IBC or MS2) but I wanted some real people reviews.
