MK3 Random Thread

Anyone know where I can find a 02a shifter bushing kit for a mk3 vr6 locally in aus? These are the bushings for the shifter box.

Thanks

Might be able to help.

Ebay is where you'll be more successful

ah ok thanks for that, i may send them an email to see.

Yeah i can see kits on ebay but unsure of which to get and would prefer local sellers so i can get it quicker :(

Are there any difference between lowering springs and coilovers? Only asking as I am considering lowering the cab soon and can't choose between the two.

Last time I did an oil change I used two widowmakers on each side to jack the car up. I now have jack stands which means I can be safer when I do this, except I am reading lots of different opinions on where they should be placed. Jacks and two widowmakers is all I have in terms of getting the car up and staying. Where should I put them?
I know really noob question but at least I'm not starting a new thread.

Lowering springs are cheaper and you can use your existing struts, but some would advise getting sports struts to suit although not entirely necessary.

Coilovers replace your strut and spring assembly completely and are height adjustable, and if you get really good ones, adjustable in damper as well.

Most consider good springs better value for money in terms of handling, whereas cheap coilovers for around the same price, you can go quite low but some would argue can be uncomfortable.

I always jack on the side jacking point and put the jack stands on the main beam of the subframe.

Thanks for the honesty. I guess coilovers win in all departments then. I want something that is height adjustable and tailored to me but not slammed so low that its uncomfortable.

I know coilovers can be expensive so I'll start looking around. I know dub addiction does fks and bc racing coilovers so I'll begin there. Thanks for the honesty.

I had CX Racing ones and lots of people rate them for being decent and pretty cheap. They're not even really uncomfortable in my opinion.

Fks are $450 through dubtuned
