They werent fitted to anything from the factory, theyre an independant manufacturer as far as i know. The only way you will find one cheap is if someone is selling one second hand on ebay or the likes.

I really cant understand why people think lowering the car with the lever is such a bad idea. The Height correctors are alot simpler than you think. It is literally a valve that when open, moves the other side until it closes - think toilet cistern, water level goes down, valve opens until level ret...

Hi, the 4x4 is now no longer for sale. There is something about them that makes you want to hold onto it and that bug has got Chris too now (its new owner) They dont have much power, certainly not enough to powerslide it around but they just handle so well that you cant give them up. Chris is doing ...

Ive just realised why it is that i thought you had posted, because i dont come on here that often, i still remember your avatar as being your red car, i saw djoptix red avatar and thought it was you, didnt pay enough attention.

I feel like an idiot now.

Vanny, you've forgotten what our bxs are famous for, constant ride height, making your car lighter wont affect ride height so you wont need to lower it, the car , heavy or light will still stay where it is. If you do lower it, i highly recommend the regassed xm spheres i have, as vanny said, the han...

They are aiming to reach 1000mph on land / http://www.bloodhoundssc.com Does this count as...

Heres some more pics i took today of the Nissan P35, the front bodywork is on but the rear wheels have been removed since. The engine is that ferrari V12 with one of the cylinder heads taken off. There aren't any pistons or conrods, just a crank so its not as complete as i thought. http://img.photob...
