Mine is running 6" coilover springs with Speedlines and this is how it sits with the adjustor above the tyre. Can go about 3 turns up further on the coilover but mine are Gaz.

thats a nice stance, I think GAZ threads go much higher up the strut though don't they?
Think do they yeah. And the strut body is shorter too iirc
The strut body on the Gaz i've got is an inch shorter than the Avo's I used to have. Think the Spax are longer too so not sure i'd have more thread.
Probably a bad comparison really as my car is on 195/40 R16's. Had some 195/50 R15 888's and the car would have needed raising more than an inch to get them on so I ended up selling them on. Shame they are so damn big.
Hey dude!
Firstly i would like to say what a top bloke you are Olly ;) only having met you for the first time the other night you were nothing but friendly and very welcoming (we ended up chatting for hours and delaying dinner thats true dedication) so cheers bud :thumb:you could have just said thanks and told me to fu7k offlol although i now know you wouldnt.
Secondly i can only praise you for the awesome animal of a car that you have created, Mightly impressed even if i did need new pants :eek: especially as you arn't in the trade or have access to a huge cheque book. Its a huge testement to yourself and all the hours/hard work you have put in well done buddy.
You know were i am if ever you need any thing ;)
Verbay BJ over.......lollol
Thirdly
I totally agree with what you have said above. As we discussed you need to start from the beginning (what you already have to work with) and go from there. So lower the car to were you want it check your clearances and figure out what you need to buy....:thumb::thumb:Quote:
