Title: weitec springs wrong height apparently!!!
Post by: rowlers on 28 February 2007, 17:49

the weitec springs I've recently fitted drop my valver to a ride hieght of  290mm.

I've been in touch with Weitec UK, who have agreed that this is too low for the springs that I have fitted.
They then asked if I was carrying any extra weight, eg stereo builds etc.., which I am not.

So what could cause my valver to sit an extra 10-15mm lower than it is supposed too - Any ideas??

And please don't tell me something is broke, bent or kn@ckered on my valver :wink:

Maybe it could have had lowering caps fitted by the previous owner? They drop about 10mm i think.

its all new suspension parts - shocks, springs mounts etc.. all fitted by me.

It would be handy if you could get "heightening caps" :grin: :grin: :grin:

Well, you can get those things that go between 2 coils to stop the spring compressing, think they're made for when towing caravans! Could make for interesting cornering though!

I'll wait until weitec get back to me to see what they reckon!
