You have to be low enough to warrant them on the front preferably with short bodied struts designed to have less droop; arm angles parallel with ground give a razor sharp directness compounded by a quick rack and solid mounts. This however can be reduced without touching the front.
mate she is comeing along and that trailer is still going strong, ur have to pop up my workshop in couple of weeks to check out my progress :)
I went low on 17's and 15's, struts the same as grahams and it was still ****ing pap.Quote:

Does the std waterpump move the coolant about effectively to the rear & what header tank have to swithed to/why?
I have short bodied struts on mine as well (the extra low gaz) and run it in the weeds... Looking at it, I can't see any need for reverse tappers in the first place, a measurement of bump can be taken statically, and then any fine adjustments can be made to sort any bump issues by heating the knuckle part with an oxy and bending..
I'll try and get some better pics of the rad arrangement at the weekend, and update a bit more.
Just fitted the new 2 1/4" rear coilies, so its all looking good.
The cooling system seems to be working fine at the moments, it bleeds up nicely and maintains a constant temp, although I havn't used it on the road yet...
I originally had a motorbike filler neck and cap located under the 'turbo' cover part but it would piss out coolant when it heated up and became pressurised. I've now made a neat little tank which is located under the cover, which has a 20psi cap on it, so the system runs at a higher pressure.. I'll get some pics of that as well..
Cheers for the comments!!

Hey, I remember when you were on RB with the blue rwd. Nice to see you are still doing daft things. This thread has inspired me to get my gte out of the garage and get it running, you may remember my black xe that I started a re-build on. D..
