1 inch lowering springs

[panoz78]

The issue with nolathane bushes is the extra stress through shock loading it can place on the chassis. The chassis’s crack with rubber bushes that have some give in them and nolathane has next to no give. They never wear out but there is a trade off.

As far as the chassis cracking I think it comes to the different model chassis as to where they crack ,not what bushes are in the suspension.
From what I've seen Hq-mid Hx tend to crack around the front K - member .
Then the late Hx/Hz tends to rip out the top shock mounts and split across the top.
Wb 's seem to have this problem solved with the 2 extra braces on the top shock tower mounts

Nah WB crack like all the others. Gravel roads kill them just the same. They had the extra bars underneath from the cross member at the front diagonally back to the chassis. Made no difference.

All bushes done and a wheel alignment. Really happy with the results.
Recon she sits great.
Drives really well too

Tighter view point.

[Kiwivan]

Cheers for that.
I tried to do that and it would not let me upload.
Rear springs were reset 30 mm lower, and fronts are just lowered springs about 30 mm.
New Monroe shocks all round.
And tyres are 205/70/14

KHFL-0357588 pretty sure that was for the springs
30 mm lower than standard.
Unsure what the KYB shocks were.just a good shock.
But just standard length because I was told you did not require shortened shocks unless you went super low..

Are the springs stiffer than standard?
