Also when you lower the tie bars at the front they actually push the wheel back a couple of mm when i welded some box section on to the cross member to lower mine they ended up sitting a few mm (2 or 3 ?) further forward.
Definatly worth doing, maybe get a few extra mm machined off and get a couple spacers made up as well, then you can add / remove them untill they sit right.

I've got the chris ashley ones and their is no problem with them pushing the drive shaffs back at all
Not saying there gonna noticably push the wheels back, it'll only be a few mm, but if your gonna do the job then you may as well do it right !! lol
The tie bars point upwards slightly towards the front so if you bring them down so there pretty much level then there gonna want to go forward a few mm as well. so mounting the tiebars forward a few mm or machining the tiebar so its a few mm shorter will keep all the geometry as it was.

Small update, My two doors got damaged between surface processing or the transport company who moved the shell. They are both wrecked and i've had to source two new ones.
Richard has stepped in and got me two brand new GM doors, and i've ordered two new ones to replace his. This way Ade can get cracking on with the paintjob without having to wait for new doors.
I'm trying to keep spirits high, should have more pics over the coming weeks.
Once again a huge thankyou to Richard (nova sport), he's gone out of his way tonight to deliver the doors, much appreciated!

gutted, whoever damaged them probably though "oh well, its only a nova"
bet you nearly cried
I'm going to pursue this further. The doors were mint when i left them with SP, now they are fecked.Quote:

I've been after a pair of new gm doors for my sport for a while now.
Opel Germany mate, they still have loads.
They rang me back today after i placed my order to say they will take 5 days to arrive from germany.
