Hi All.
Im in a bit of a quandry at the moment. I have a Pintara T and it's approaching it last days of suspension. We'll, that happened about two months ago!
<Prof Frink>Now its always with the creaking and the bouncing and the WALLOWING, Gleeben <End Prof Frink>
The first hint was that the right hand rear tyre scrapes like a mofo most of the time I turn left and almost always when I have friends in the car (rear springs have sagged to buggery) It gets a bit annoying and you can smell the rubber burning too
I got a quote to do the suspension and it was about $750. This was supply and fit King Springs all round and Monroe GT on the fronts (Rear Struts are fine). I can get the springs in any height and as I think the Pintara T sits a bit high. like most cars on normal springs, Id like to drop it down just a bit.
The trouble is that I know I have the wrong profile tyres. They're 195/60/15's instead of 195/60/14's. Its not much of a difference but as the right rear sidewall is unreadable from all the scraping, Im wondering if it'll still fit without scraping the guard with lowered springs? I dont want to get rid of the tyres from the simple fact that I dont know how new they were when I got the car but I've done 20000+ on them, and they're still new!
Also is this a decent price for Supply and Fitting of these parts? I see that you can get them from the ANTRX shop for $515 so is the other $250 Average for fitting? The guy who is doing it for me is a mate and he's a real professional. Has the best XR6 Turbo in Queensland, I know he's good, but still...
