Test fit, and the fitment is terrible. Middle section has a recess to fit the orginal front bar, but it isn't recessed in enough and the bar sits abot 3-4mm forward more than it should. 105mm from the ground. It has a crack in it, so some fibreglassing will need to be done also. Will be 95mm off the ground when the 15s are fitted. Last edited by project.r.racing; 09-08-2011 at 02:24 PM. |

Mine was an absolute bitch to fit, and still dosnt looks 100%.
I noticed the rep i have seems a lot more 'shovelish' the your as well. i.e it extends further out. When u get it fitted corrected it should look well awesome! |

Test fitted the HIDs today. And divised a way for the S3 headlight loom to work without cutting it up. Only need to cut a 25mm hole in the centre of the back covers. Just couldn't find my hole cutting drill bit. D'oh!

New coilovers = fail. Dealing with Justjap is like talking mechanics with a 16yo. The understand what a car is, but not really the technical side of things.
BR series not available, even though listed for sale. 2 listed a available, nothing in stock. No idea about spring rates and what is interchangable. Last edited by project.r.racing; 06-09-2011 at 03:19 PM. |

Check out the USA site for BC Racing. They have a PDF with spring rates and which type is available for what vehicle.
http://www.bcracing-na.com/downloads...ATION_LIST.pdf The number on the end of the part number is the spring rate in KG. |

I am well aware of what spring rates are available, unfortunately JustJap did not have the knowledge that I do regards coilover modifications or design.
I get the general idea from them, that they just wanna sell a generic product, take the money asap and run. Customer service = zero! Last edited by project.r.racing; 06-09-2011 at 04:00 PM. |

To be honest I had great dealings with them. They even confirmed the bolt pattern on the front strut tops for me. It sucks that they have screwed you around.

Oops!!!
Fell asleep at doing 100kph only 3km from my home. Hit one of those white metal reflector poles on the side of the road. (Did the damage at 100kph). First time in forever my driving skills have been tested. And mine glad I had some. I was drving, then next thing I know, is I can hear loud banging and gravel hitting the wheel well plastics, I'm on gravel and there are brushes hitting the passenger side of the vehicle. I had negetive lock to keep the car straight at one stage and drove back onto the tarmac at 80kph. And continued on home like nothing happened. Only to find this mess when I hoped out of the car. Dent in bonnet Broken glass in passenger headlight Passenger front indicator totally destroyed, wiring cropped Front bumper split into two |

Damn Ryan sorry to see that man. I fell asleep before, but I was fortunate to get woken up by my mate before I hit the guard rail.
