front will be sitting about 15mm lower then in that pic, set on solid (28 damping settings)

brick is needed for jack to fit under

rear has damper adjustables and custom springs about 90mm in hopeing but this will be raies once ice is in

Dont set it too hard as it buckled my wheels.

Is it the Spax kit? thats the one I had well worth it for £450

na it wont buckel wheels, dont worry about that

its sat about 75 on rear and 80 on front

i cant go lower untill i take more of the arches off hopefully ill be getting this done 2night if it all goes to plan

front will go about 120mm low, even tho on the box it says 85 max

ive jsut put 60mm spax springs in on the shortened dampers on the rear, sits about 55mm but hasnt been ran in yet, so if these go lower then the ones in that pic then im keeping them in, if not, the old ones r getting compressed more once the arches r pulled out further going for 90mm all round now

oh and to clear things up, i have used 3mm spacers on the front which JUST clears the shocker, im talking about 1mm clearence!! 5mm spacers would b better, but this means the rims are et40 then and wont fit under the arch

cheers for when mine come later in the month

ive had my front and rear set on the hardest setting for over a year now, and no probs with buckled alloys (thou ya do feel it thru the steering when ya run over a worm ) them painted lines on round up to roundabouts and stuff are a killer
