Thanks everyone  :smiley:

How do I make sure the height is correct all round when adjusting the coilovers as she does look a bit high, especially at the back?


Due to costs I am finding she is not as bad as I thought.  Around town about 23-24.  I had a Volvo T5 for a few months.....Very fast but the best MPG I got was 18 around town!  Insurance for me on the VR is £387 fully comp so not that bad.

I measure from bottom of the coilover to the spring.

Spray plenty of wd40 first  :wink:

Just wind them down to the bottom, that way you know they're both at the same height :wink: :grin:

The strangest thing is, My vr6 gives me an honest 30/31 mpg.  Don't get me wrong, i use it as a toy and tend to drive it when roads are quiet but on a sunday run I can get the trip up to 36mpg.  I'm well aware that these units can overread, however, if i actually calculate the amount of fuel i've put in against the miles i've covered if anything you'd swear the computer does the opposite.

Seriously, i wouldn't dream of putting a ten spot into even my 2.0tdi caddy but with the vr6 it seems to last for ages.   certainly lasts longer than even my interestingly economical 350z. she does around 27/28.
