    Happy 5 Anniversary sh3p!

  2. Do a search for energy suspension in the states ..they do a front and rear kit for the gen7 ..is very reasonably priced and shipping isn't too bad (especially if you can get a group buy together) I did mine all round and was impressed with them
  3. Happy Birthday sh3p!

  4. Hmm how did I not get involved with this who has the loudest exhaust...think I may have been in with a shout at the anti-social neighbour waking award
  5. Should pass a if it's standard. ...there is a maximum height for them ...you could always check if they are too high...and put in a complaint or claim. .
  6. just back off the adjusting cog through the hole in the front as you have already done,remove the disc and it will look become alot clearer what has been described, if your still unsure just put the disc back on and adjust. the shoes shouldn't need replacing they last years and usually break up due to age not wear if at all,as they don't stop the car while its moving just hold it in place so,should be no wear unless its been driven with the handbrake on.
  7. If they move when your wheels on I would be worried your wheel is not seating correctly and not tight enough...disc should not move unless it's specifically a floating disc design .

  10. Happy Birthday sh3p!

  11. as has been said peaks & troughs so stick with it after spending 3.5k have work done to my RX7 only to find that on the drive home it was virtually undriveable due to a bad Map(not my fault),wrong turbo (my fault) & a clutch like a switch i could have happily driven it straight into a skip had there been one available with a ramp,i even hated the seats by the time i had got home & only drove her 3 times in 3weeks. But after changing the clutch back to OEM & a little tinkering map wise she became easier to live with & so spent the time & effort to get her right & now love it everytime i get in her
  12. figured it would be but you never know where peeps plan on travelling in the near future:)
  13. will happily do it for you if your prepared for a 100+ mile drive? post code dn333bd would have to be on 1 of my 4 days off as i work a 4 on 4 off 12hr 6-6 days/nights
  14. blue loctite is a medium strength i would/do use red for stuff that i really don't want to come loose without applying some heat first, bearing in mind the hubs will become warm in periods of heavy braking...
  15. well flattened threads are never good, if the studs are stronger than the alloy (which they will be) they will have damaged the threads in the spacer ( by how much & whether its a big deal 1 time is debatable) what strength threadlock did you use? & have you used a stronger one this time? for the moment i wouldn't be too concerned but would make plans to change something be it the threadlock or the studs when the wheels have to come off again. just a thought why where the nuts so tight on the stud once they had come out of the spacer? they should be pretty loose with no pressure on them, you didn't get any loctite on the threads where the nuts went did you? when fitting the studs to the hubs use the 2 nuts method, tightened 2 nuts together on the stud then tighten the stud into the hub with the outer nut, sorry if am preaching to the choir
