drop the rear beam to get the back bit off  :wink:

That's what the bloke in garage said he would have to do if i wanted it off whole...but did not have time as he was only going to do me a sunday morning cash in hand swap over.

Cut the exhaust and rejoin with a sleeve  :smiley:

He did not want to possibly cut in wrong place

He would have done it if it was a simple un-bolt - swap & then bolt up again

If i dont get a 2nd hand exhaust this week, ill just order a new scorpion.

Coilovers fitted today




You can see the different height versus the V5 on the front wheels



need to let it settle in for a few weeks to see if it needs adjusting.

New Exhaust on order

The suspension has settled a bit since running it.

Don't really want to drop any lower with 1 million speed humps in swindon & im not getting any younger
 so want to keep my spine in tact for a bit longer  :wink:
