Does any1 know the laser tracking settings for a nova lowered 60mm?
Fitted a bilstein sus kit the other week wiv no bump stops and the car was low as fuck! but the ride quality was very very bad so today fitted standard nova stops and the ride is spot on but the car is now sitting at about 30-40mm instead of 60mm.
Is this cos the standard stops are too big?
Any1 know what size stops i should fit? eg Length, outside Diameter and bore?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
cheers

Cut your standard ones in half, or the better option would be to get some progressive ones made by Powerflex (I think!), or another manufacturer..

they are the same as a standard nova. You prob think it's different because everyone say get your tracking done after you lower your car. This is because when the suspension is undone, it mucks up the tracking so you heve to have it checked.

i think it's about 1 degree toe out. if you cant find out let me know and i will make a call.
