ok thanx to naples_16v my car is now 55mm lower on the front and bout 60-65mm on the back!
springs and dampers arrived yesterday and 8pm las nite got the springs on, not with out troubles tho.... the nut on the top of the strut..... well the bit you put the allen key socket bit in was broke! didnt grip, but other side was fine! theres always something anyway soldiering on got a sledge hammer....
and wedge the wooden end up the wheel arch and manged to lock the spring and damper in place and undo the nut, took about an hour and a half but it drove so well i was so happy and that was with the rear about 5 inches higher than the front!
as i finished work early 2day i decided to print off zeds torsion bar guide and had a crack, how easy, took bout an hour and a half to do both sides, one side sat bout 10mm lower so had to fix that about 3 times, all in all its f***in low, not had a proper drive yet and its 2 dark for piccies so i will post some 2mro....
also 2 do 2mro:
16v carpet
adjust handbrake
put apex rear dampers on 8)
and fit my 16v front calipers discs and pads
and give her a clean :D
anyone had any probs doing torsion bar???
