do isuzu 1.6 exhaust manifolds fit onto 2.0's?
and how low are super low king springs? i heard you can only get 2 inch lowering springs when you go with king's. |

yep 1600 mainfolds do fit 2000
super low springs are 50mm lower than std.
if you want lower pull out your angle grinder and sky ( or ground ) is your limit. |

I've got cut king springs which are 4 inches lower in the back and when I go up a gutter they fall out...how do I stop it? And I also don't think short travel shocks are short enough.
Also whats an average price for some 15 inch mags to suit a gemini with tyres?

what pay $150.00 for springs that at the end of the day are either make the car sit to high or still fucking fallout.
it is a known problem in gemini .
as for crap it cost about $1.50 and it works beats paying $150.00 and no better off |

are we talking front or rear springs.
Ive never herd off a rear wheel alinment on a gemini .
ARR thats because you carnt .
As for handling in the front cheak that the bump stops are not compressed onto the bottom control arm if thay are simply cut the bottom knob of the bumpstop this will give you just that little more suspension travel crued but once again effective . |
