My bargain bling hi-lo's (new $40) came to me recently via my bro, who came back to OZ for a holiday.

Image

Thanks to Aaron for the loan of the cone compressor. Damn handy tool that. Standard trumpets came out piss easy, without having to butcher them! Just a tip, removing the bump stop rubber from below the top arm gives you more downward travel of the suspension. :wink:

Image

The front now sits at a decent height, not 4x4 height. I cannot believe how much better it looks.....gee it looked bad sitting so high!! :oops: I bet you all thought that but only a few had the balls to tell me. :lol:

Image


I'll take it out for a spin tomorrow and see if it handles any better :wink:

Well done mate. It never is too difficult if all the parts are clean and well maintained.

Cheers

Aaron

Wow look at the inside of that guard... pristine!

You need to get out and drive it some more :D

And how did you get them so cheap?
