theres 2 ways i can wire them

1 wire them both up togher +to+ should be ok but some people do have problems with it being like this

or

wire one up to run the engine and the 2nd one up to the system so the system and car are seperate

oh sweet stuff on the springs, im needing to lower my front a lil, could come in handy to save a few bucks
they looking the part ?
but atm im raising my rear around 40mm as my rear beam is getting f***ed from the weight of install and i still havnt put the big yellows or amps in yet!
i have managed to get a 105Ah battery for free and been offered a few for cheapppp!
and plans of making a tunnel install instead! so whilst the rear is stripped looking for a standard R/S beam for discs

hows the ALT installation going ?

thanks mate as said springs dont look 70mm but that could be because thay havnt been on long will let you no if it goes any lower.

id becarefull highering the back as ive found the bars bend alot when thay have weight on them i wouldnt like to think how much my would be bent if the car wasnt lowerd befor the install.

what tunnel you going for how meny subs ect?

im looking at 8, so, 4 either side then power them with something like a 3000D
but lastnight looking at my fuel gauge now i got 2 batteries in the back, i went through more than a 1/5th a tank in under 50 miles
whats your fuel consumption like?, i can hardly get 300 miles to a tank, when i first got the car i was getting near on 400!

so im thinking not too bother if it wont be able to move anywhere because of the weight!

my Torsion bars have bent like fuck, but im thinking about getting another Beam, standered height, and just using the install alone to lower it now.

ok, i have on offer batteries, i currently have 4 x 126aH 12V batteries...they are mine
but up for sale i have possible around the 30 mark comming, but they will need checking, could potentially have 0

looking at 60 a pop if you know anyone interested, will be checked, fully charged and ready to go!
any interest, let me know and ill get back to you when ive checked it all over and got a final amount.
