because iv spent many hours getting the ride height so I'm happy... and also had my geometry done



Thought you'd just be able to mark where its at on the coils, raise it then return it back to your markings when done and not touching anything else to ensure your geometry remained intact.

If the nylon spacers don't get you on rollers, would you be able to get away with a sh*t set of wheels with bigger tyres just to get you  on?

I know what you mean because even if you weren't fussed about the setup its still a long winded pain in the ass raising it to then have to drop it again, especially for such a short time, hence why I thought big steelies or something, whack em on, whack em off.

Air ride FTW then???  :grin:

was out doing some testing in the car, on a stretch of dual carriageway which has no junctions on it making it a ideal test strip, a lot of people use it to to race on tho too hence its name "the mad mile"..  little did i know was their was a police behind me..

he only caught me because i stopped at a shop a couple of miles later. he told me he didn't even have the chance to read my Reg plate and if id not have stopped at the shop he would never have found me or been able to trace me 

lesson learnt was lucky to get away with a warning... the car impressed him tho, he said he was doing 120+ and i left him for dust  :laugh: :lipsrsealed:

got a slight telling off and had to apologise.. i know how fast i was doing so couldn't argue.. won't be doing that again

Air ride gives similar rider and handling to coilovers but the practicality of stock height.

Lucky to be let off with a warning
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
