HR front CRS drop stubs plus 2" lower springs, 13x4.5 stock HR wheels 185/70/13 tyres i couldn't use HR brakes had to space the wheels out so used torana rotors and calipers but if you are using HK/T/G discs should be fine, i had to cut the lip out of the guards and they still sometimes touch what is left of the lip on hard lock up driveways, (BE WARNED the front crossmember WILL make contact with the road on bumps especially through dips, i had nearly worn the lip off the lower arms and had battered the crossmember considerably) unless things have changed the CRS stubs come drilled for 13" imperial brakes on one side and 14" imperial brakes on the other side of each stub you just change the stubs from one side to the other depending if you want calipers at the front or rear, OR they come drilled only on one side to suit metric commodore brakes OR i think you can order specific

Mick sounds like you need to weld on some skid plates to the crossmember do you can make sparks like the lowriders

i lifted the front slightly (only a 5mill nylon spacer/insulator) and so far so good has made a difference, it's only hit the ground once since lolErrol62 wrote: Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:45 am Mick sounds like you need to weld on some skid plates to the crossmember do you can make sparks like the lowriders

I like that warning the front member will make contact
sounds like thats the good starting point and work back from that.What Torana front brakes did you use , can they be bought new or a direct replacement.

i've done the flipped leaves plenty of times much nicer ride with reset springs though, just have to find a place that will do what you want not what they say can only be done
they're LC/LJ rotors and i'm not sure what calipers they are i think LH, i just bought them off an LJ race car and didn't realise at first the calipers were not LJ (i knew what they looked like just didn't pay any attention at first
but they work great)Re: Hr Front.
