iv got my rwc and im booked in to get my rego on thersday
then ill be putting my OME springs in it all looks eazy to do but is there any thing i should look out for when puting them in ?? (its just a leaf spring kit)
also iv got some seats to go in but i think when i change to 4h it will hit the side could i just cut the shiffter down a bit or will that make it harder to change into 4h / 4l 2h

If it was me, I wouldn't cut the TC stick, if you do a body lift in the future the stick would be too short, maybe try bending it?

i test drove a NT softtop before i got my WT hardtop. I dont know how you guys can drive them! scary in crosswinds and at freeway speed
(this particular one had high kms though so i cant compare it to anything else..) was a bit of a shock though.

First of all tighten the adjustment screw on the top, back off the nut tighten the screw then back it off ever so slightly and tighten the nut again. If this don't work get a replacement box.

Keep going until it hurts or she complains then back off a little.

it will only go in as far as it can. there will be no damage as it is only an adjustment, it wont hit anything,
It has a stop point so it cant be screwed in any further!
