New guy, old question

[SpanishTY]

Hi all,

I'm new to the Typhoon world, as I own mine for just one week. The fact is the car has a broken gearbox, and meanwhile, I thought I could lower it a bit (it needs it). Is there any guide on how to lower the front and the rear? Options? and also, where to get the goods? (I'm from Spain.....) 4 inches at the rear would do, and something levelled at the front.
I also have a set of Brembo calipers sitting around there, I'll try to fit 'em. Has anyone tried before?

here is a good site that you will learn alot about syty maintance.
but the most i would go lowering a ty in the rear is 2 inches becasue 3 will almost be on the bump stops all the time when you are riding(really bad bouncy ride). but for the the front just turn the torsion bar bolts, that is the easiest way to lower the front.

I have a truck at my shop with a full brembo 15" rotor 6 piston setup. what is it that you have maybe I could help.

by gearbox do you mean tranmission? by busted whats wrong with it?

Yes, the transmission's gone!! I don't know what happened, but first the Overdrive went bang, and finally (30 minutes later), I could only drive in reverse. I have an alfa 147 Brembi kit, 4 pistons and 310 discs. The discs won't work (I think), but the calipers will, at least they should. 15 minutes from my workshop is the Brembo factory, and the engineer is a friend of mine, so I think we'll make it work with no problem. Anyone interested in another front kit?? Do you know where to get replacement parts? Here, people don't even know what the Typhoon is.........
