So i had a free ramp in the workshop today so set about fitting my B14 Billys. Its been a long time since i hit the spanners so probably took me much longer than it should have and i am pretty sure i over complicated it too but that front control arm pivot thing was new to me.
Anyway forgive the lighting as its under spot lights so the shadows don't really do the drop justice.
Before
After 30MM drop all round from cup kit
Making a big mess much to the amusement of my mechanics.
Rears on
I went with 30mm drop all round as i didn't want to upset the turn in too much by dumping the rear. Still needs an alignment but ill do that at the end of the week.
At low / city speeds its a tiny bit harsher i would say a few more vibrations make it into the cabin. As you get hustling on the difference begins to grow at higher speeds it glides over bumps that used to buck the car before, dive under breaking has improved also and turn in is just as pointy as it was. Initially Feels less rolly polly on the bends but i still need to get the alignment checked so i was nott at full tilt so i wont judge that just yet.
Big day tomorrow i have to do;
1.Cam belt + Aux belt (which feels ridiculous on a car with only 10k on the clock)
2. Poly bush all engine and gearbox mounts, no *@#$ing tonight need all my wrist power for tomorrow!
