My suspension woes continue......
« on: 13 February 2008, 18:42 »


This pic is of one of the rear dampers that i just removed off the car, spring plate sat ontop of the highest wrung(spelling??), new rear dampers have thse same wrungs but as you lot know my suspension is too darn low at the back and the spring plate now sits on the 3rd wrung or should i say ring, is this right?? i know you lot will need pics but its dark and while working can't get pics. Do these rings mena i can adjust the ride height at the back ??

Please help as its driving me crazy :cry: :cry: :cry:

im not sure if this is for the hardness on the fixed height damper like yours... i could be wrong, they may have some adjustment but as u probably can guess you will have to remove them to adjust them..

bloody hell, i can sense your anger with it

try adjust them, and take it from their, if not cut your losses sell both sets of lowered suspension u have and get the hottunning collies, they are very good at 179 large ones, fully adjustable is what u need
