Keep it low and slow.

They'll all rattle a bit but I've never had mine creak; perhaps it'll stop when you replace the parts?

Mine is lowered 40mm as well and I'd never go back. You may have to slow down for the speed bumps but at least it gives pedestrians a good chance to get a look at your car! :wink:

Cheers!

Half wishful thinking and half true; since getting the car sorted properly I've had compliments from people who I would have never of thought of being remotely interested in cars. Work colleagues, mates and in some cases complete strangers.

Makes you feel good inside!  :rolleyes:

Cheers bud, much appreciated. Likewise  :smiley:

Gutted to miss BVF but back then I hadn't finished the car and I didn't want to turn up amongst some sweet looking Mk1's in a rusting Cab with a rotting vinyl roof. I would have felt like a right pikey.

It's a shame, but next time there's a meet, I'm up for it. It'll be a good excuse to give the car a run.

My Cab is on standard suspension at the moment, however I have some adjustable struts in the garage waiting to go on..........

Easy question for you, how difficult is it to change the struts?
