Been out to check height this morning.

Floor to arch heights

Fronts are both 648mm (12mm drop)

Rears are both 655mm (15mm drop)

I will check again later this week.

Once you've done some more mileage it will drop a bit,maybe another 5-10mm.

At the moment you have a good workable height with a nice look.😊

On my 8p i runs 340mm all round from the 360mm on the front & 340mm on the rear.

I was looking for an even gap front to rear & not loosing too much ground clearance.

T-800 nice write up matey, did you use spacers?

To be fair Ben

I can see now perhaps spacers maybe on the cards with the OEM rotors now you’ve mentioned it

Although I’ve just remembered why I wasn’t keen

Getting road rash up me paintwork.

 

Just been out to measure the distance and I'd be able to go 8 mm further out on standard Rotors that's from the edge of the rim protector to the arch face.

That means any rust from wet discs will be more visible.

Thanks for photos P - looks good. Do you have mag ride? If so does front bottom out when in comfort mode?

No mag ride, no rubbing or anything just perfect mate

Comparing the photo of your car with mine which has OEM springs I'm not sure there's enough clearance to lower front by 20mm & rear by 10mm and allow for a + 5mm ish tolerance?

I’m running 12mm spacers all around too

[Penetrator]

What spacers are you running with this ride hight ?

Car had full geometry within the hour as with just springs being fitted there’s no real need to wait a long time for them to settle, Coilovers and HAS springs definitely wait for settlement.

My subframe had moved so the adjustment was very much needed.

Geometry done today courtesy of Drury Lane Autos.....
Paul has had a brand new Hunter machine installed since my last visit...

Such a knowledgable guy too really makes time to chat about cars etc....

It needs the subframe shifting over .You`ve still too much negative camber ,front left.

Paul explained that even unbolting the subframe wasn’t going to improve that figure by much.

He was happy with it.

Another splendid write up Sean...

Look forward to seeing the final pics once everything has settled properly.

We had exactly the same issue on my car after fitting the Pro kit, the best we could get too was -1.22 which I on the very limit of within tolerance as the subframe would not fir anymore..
MG Automotorsport also used the exact same Hunter machine.

Great write up there Sean!

 

I'm looking at adjustable springs on mine but i'd be getting someone to fit them as i haven't the patience.

[T-800]

After doing the springs I’ve decided to give some areas under the car this treatment.

[T-800]

Forgot to mention

Had it on a level surface yesterday so thought I’d see what the digital measure says



Top = Passenger rear
Mid = Passenger front
Btm = Driver rear

Below is the Driver front

They don't look too sad very good even figures mate 😊

This was a interesting and super well documented tutorial.

I’m going to install my springs myself too, do we know the torque wrench figures for refitting everything at all?
