    Williams ride height

    Im viewing a members Williams 3 on Saturday but at the moment it just doesn't look like it's sitting right, compared to others the front looks too high, what could cause this? incorrect springs/set up? the rear is on koni shocks but not lowered. here is a pic http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/...riversSide.jpg

    lol yeah, I have a better side on pic but it's not hosted yet. others seem the same height at the rear but lower at the front. I've not let that put me off but it deffo appears to be the incorrect suspension, either that or the rear is lowered making the front look higher but I have loads of pictures of standard looking ones and none look that high!

    I'd say the rear is too low, just needs bringing up a notch on the torsion bar

    the front is at fault there. Not the rear which looks fine. I would bet the wrong springs are on. Check for two dabs of white paint.

    The drivers arch is a 1.2 one if you are bothered or not by that and the rear jacking points are missing

    It has had 3 previous club owners.

    Anyone who knows what they are looking for can spot things, it just arches do it for me.

    Other people will probally see other things.

    well spotted there mate, it is hard to tell although looking in that last pic it doesn't look as wide does it?

    The rear jacking points?

    Is that white paint on the springs or the struts?

    Thanks very much for your advice mate
