Lowering would improve it slightly as the centre of gravity is closer to the ground, but if you don't like lowering you have a couple other options avaliable to you... New, wider tyres with better grip. Strut and sway bars - http://www.ultraraci...p2_articleid=28 ( i did this and it was a very good improvement ) But do check your tread on the tyres up front and make sure there on legal standards

No worries, Check out the rest of the vids on that page, there is alot of cool info about how the car works that not many people know about :)

I have the same thing happen with my aurion ( but thats when i pretend its Race Car ) so as said above ease up on braking and acceleration. Accelerate hard and the car will slip but only momenteraly till it ither regains traction or the traction control kicks in forcing it to regain traction. ABS ( Antilock Brake System ) is for emergency braking. Giving the brake a hard quick stab will engage the ABS and stop you quickly but with the ability to control the car ( steering etc ) whilst you come to a stop. Watch the following videos on exatly how they work.

A stated above, it isnt a legal binding cotract unless you have a copy and signed copy of the original document stating you put a deposit on the vehicle you are intrested in. My dad says you can also goto the State Ombudsman or Motor Traders Association as these places are all govened and regulated by acts of parliament and the laws apply to the sale of goods. Check to see if there is a cooling off period too... even tho you havn't signed nothing stating that you are going to purchase it :) Good luck!

Yes u can do it without removing bumper, but for someone that dosent have a clue to mount, first time its better to remove, makes more room espicaly for someone like me that has big man hands :3 And removing also allows you to see what your doing. If you ever do a high beam kit its almost 100% chance you will remove bumper as you have to F around with the assemblys <_> + HID is illegal, remove the bumper and placing where i have them makes them hidden completely, wiring and all!

Jono read this on how to install the HID kits. http://hid.poirus.com.au/index.htm Myself, i did what that tutorial does, when you've done it once, its easy! Rough idea for Ballast locations.... just attach anywhere thats close to headlight assembly, and is out of the lower part of the car due to water.

Red book tells you all details you need to know! http://redbook.com.a...r&Ridx=3&eapi=2 Private Price Guide $23,500 - $26,200 Trade In Price Guide $19,100 - $21,800 Average Km 30,000 - 50,000 Price When New $40,490* So its still a little high but if in good condition, would be a good price for what it is :)

Yea i really depends on what you want... In my last car i had alpine front splits and pioneers rear 6x9's so yea it could only now be answered by a few lads that have done the mod. Can those that have installed speakers list their front / rear / tweeter brands and averge cost for them there please.

Any speaker is a good speaker ( so to speak ) Recomendations are your good brand names for Sony, Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer. Lots of the lads here will have mixed opinions, best you can do is goto an audio store that does stereo's and get quotes for the best within your price limit. Dont be afraid to mix and match, as the same priced speaker in pioneer might be better then the sony, in turn giving you better sound for the same price.

35W - They are the best for low beam headlights as they don't blind oncoming traffic or traffic your are behind. With the low beam projector headlight assembly's the Aurion comes with you wont need 55W at all ! 99% of us have 35W low beams and find they are more then sufficient for night time driving, if needing the extra light you can kick in the high beam (standard globe of 100W) or put in a 55W HID kit. 55W - They are so bright they are just almost not needed for urban driving, ive used them in urban and all you do is switch it on and off ( shortens the ballast life ) due to oncoming taffic. But if driving in the country/bush they are just awesome! I have used 6000K ( White with tinge of blue ) in the Low and High beams, but find they are just not as good as they could be. So I have changed the low beam to 4300K ( Just a tad more white then Halogen ) and find suburban driving i can see more on the road under street light and also non street light areas. 4300K still provide the reflective properties that the other Kelvin coloured lights provide on cats eyes and street signs. I have bought many kits from the eBay seller '95Soarer' and all have been good. Links to the kits you need.... 35W - H11 Connection Required / Choose your Colour 55W - HB3 (AKA 9005) Connection Required / Choose your Colour

looks like it was designed by Nintendo with those steering wheel controlls... Do you drive it like WiiFit lol ?
-
I personaly don't like the look, it seems sorta out of place :\ Sounds good tho :)

Feedback is 706 buyers ( covers all different brake parts for all other models ie Holden, Ford, Toyota etc) all gave 100% positive feedback 5 buyers total for the particular set i want - All gave 100% positive feedback. To me it looks like a bargin, but as i said above just want to double check with the TOC Aurion Family members :)

Well i just bought (30 minutes ago) an easydeals HU.... Dosen't come with the Reversing camera now, but its now $609 delivered ! i can sus out a camera for $60 or less on ebay if i need it. Ive had a JVC HU in my last car, good but i do think the Pioneer is a better option around the mid range for starters :) I will reply here letting you know what i think of the new Easydeals HU once obtained and installed.

I want to know if you would say this is a safe purchase off Ebay, it Contains: http://www.ebay.com....=item19c3dbb54c 2 x PBR Brakes 296mm Front slotted RDA Rotors Suit GSV40 V6 2006-Present. 1 x Set of RDX EXTREME brake pads. $210 + $20 delivery = $230 totoal to my door. My dad thinks that is rather cheap ( and possibly nasty ) hence the question here. Yes i know there is brake questions threads and the like but this is a serious question. All opinions are appreciated <3 Thanks METAL13 :D

Correct DJKor! Low beam = H11 High Beam = HB3
