ahh so yay.. ur at billing tommorow ad??
Yes mate.
Picking Iainel up about 9ish, and hoping get to Billing about 11
You?

Just seen lol
Update
Picked up some 250lb springs off Spanish Fly at Billing, so got cracking and got the Avo's all built up ready.
Had a fooking nightmare trying to get the top mounts on(the springs are 9" in length), which meant there was no thread for the top mount main nut...., not enough coming out of the top mount.
SO, had to use spring compressors to compress the spring slightly, and just managed get the nut on.

So wipped the old setup offf today after work
Comparison, old springs looked shagged and about to snap :eek:

Here is where problems started, let the jack down and found the spring platform jammed against the tyre... NOT GOOD
So managed to find some 3mil spacers i bought about 4 years ago.
Managed to get wheel/spacer/brake disc lined up, and i just have enough clearance(talking millimeters..)

And check the UNCOOL ride height(thats with the springs adjusted fully low :(

The springs are quite long at 9", kind of wished i had kept with the 7" 300s, as it should sit much lower with those on. But these will have to stay on for Donny now and then i'll decide what do.

Took the car out for a quick blast and the handling is much improved IMO, steering feels better, and theres less front end roll. Feels a lot more stable, so im looking forward to Donny this Friday :cool:
Did you fit bump stops in the end ad?
Nope, the dampers are almost fully extended with those 9" springs on anyways, so it will go much lower with shorter springs, and mean I wont need spacers as the spring will sit higher :)
think you'll gain some more with top mounts, like we were on about on sat.
Yup, standard mounts staying for the time being though.
Going fit shorter springs after Donny :)
Im kinda in a similar predicament; my front coilover springs are 8" i think; but they are too small/ bearly seem to compress when ride height wound all the way down. Could be this that is giving me the harsh ride.. i dunno.
I thought to try bigger ones but then i may be in your boat with parties in the arches, with the coilover wound right down.. hmm.
