Well of course they were blown, stock shocks weren't made to handle lowering
 I'd recommend different shocks if you're still on stock ones

So, spent most of today trying to figure out my next move for the GT4 front end...
If I go full GT4 bumper and Hood, I cannot find a lip that will then flow with the Veilside skirts... The best looking lip IMO would be the C-ONE lip, but it wouldn't flow with the skirts at all... And to go for a PreFace Hybrid, I would have to ruin my GT4 bumper and would be a lot of mucking around (But, I could then put my SSIII spats back on)... Preface Hybrid Bumper:  Unfortunately I do not have the skill with fibreglass or bog to attempt a Hybrid bumper by myself and I don't even know where to start with a shop that could do it... -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

I agree with everyone that the hybrid bumper would look wicked. Make it happen!

Thanks guys, gonna have my work cutout for me to bring this thought into reality...
First step will be selling off my Black GT4 bonnet and bumper locally, and then importing half the bumper alone, will end up being cheaper that way, and I am not ruining a mint bumper. I don't have the cash atm to attempt it since I bought a GoPro and insurance was this week... But this gives me time to think about how to do this haha -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Well, been a good time since an update... I am now rolling around on BC V1 coilovers and have installed my TOMS performance braided brake lines and ST205 Rear Strut Brace. Other than that, everything is the same.
I also met up with Former 6GC owner Timmyface at a Car Meet at Sydney Olympic Park and he got these mad shots of our group of cars (My 6gc, His WRX and a friends 5GC), he also brought me down a space saver spare tyre so I can sell my old 15's as a complete set.    And a few other photos from other people:

So, started working today and left it here... As you can see I don't have much working space...
 http://www.6gc.net/forums/style_images/1/f...-emo-button.png State of the interior:   And the state of the stock speakers:  Work today included removing the front speakers, removing the adapters from the speaker and lining up the new 6.5" speakers. I also removed the rear speakers and are working on the tweeters as we speak, I also managed to get my Vincent_Doggy Hand-Brake boot on! Tomorrow my mate is coming around and we are making the 6.5-8" adapters for the speakers and installing them to the car! Meant to have 100+mm of rain coming too so looks like the workspace will remain cramped

If you look on my project thread there are instructions on how to make a hybrid front bumper, it is pretty easy, get the cutting right, the rest is easy. -------------------- |

I do not have the tools to even cut a bumper properly... Nor do I have the time or skill to put two together:( My only option is to get someone else to do it, or scratch the idea... -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
