Title: Starting to collect bits
Post by: Gunning on October 20, 2015, 11:34:41 AM

Gday all I'm starting to collect bits I need for cleaning and upgrading brakes, and subframe
Yesterday I got some new rotors, I've taken old girlock calipers off, I'll replace with some more modern style calipers
I'd like to go the stub tech drop spindle route as well, at moment it's little things and slow, a lot of saving money

Over the weekend I removed old rotor, while had part I cleaned and painted parts
Not yet reassembled, giving paint time to dry thoroughly

The red bits are girlok brake calipers, black thing is rotor on stub axel

Gday all, just thinking of getting new springs and shocks before I strip down the Sud frame
I plan on a v6 conversion
Any recommendations for springs and shocks
Thanks for your time
Brett

Hi all got a email back from kings springs regarding spring replacements
They recommend springs KBFS01 and a standard replacement for a six cylinder
I'll get a set of those, now for working out the shocks

Just bought some kings springs on eBay and a friend offered me some Gabriel shocks for cheap
Just have to weight for delivery, collect a few more bits, pull apart and inspect other bits in the sub frame
