My 1500HL measures approx. 350mm from the wheel centre to the lip of the wing. It is all standard. Hope this helps. |

The OHV cars always seem to have this "nose up" stance, with what can only be described as an excessive front wheel arch gap. It's nothing to get excited about! You'll be lucky to find pre owned ASP shox, they do show up every other blue moon but most folk won't go back to standard from them. Gaz (IMHO) are the best and usually the cheapest. Not cheap but usually cheaper than the other makes, AVO/Spax/Koni etc Steve |

Thanks all for the help. I think I’m just going to bite the bullet & get some GAZ height & damping adjustable front shocks. I have spoken to rimmers & they will price match them to Gaz’s website price which means the pair work out at £150 + vat which is pretty good. It also means I can get it sitting perfectly once the Sprint wheels are on! |

So I just bit the bullet & ordered a pair of GAZ height & damping adjustable front Shocks. Rimmers price matched them so got the pair for £150!! Hopefully should cure my problem of the front height. However I still think the rear is sat to low. But will need to look into that further. |

Sounds cheap as chips that, considering a full set of Gaz shocks and springs cost me £490 from Rimmers with a hefty discount! |

The GAZ front height & damping adjustable front dampers arrived today so will be getting those fitted with the original springs as soon as I can. I also plan to fit GAZ rear dampers when funds allow. I also received today a full set of Sprint wheel nuts so I will start to refurb my Sprint wheels next week and then get some new 175/70/13 tyres ordered. Lots of updates soon hopefully. |

Your's being a 1500HL will have 3/8" studs. It was only the later Sprints that had 7/16" studs. |

Latest update - I have now received my steel 3/8 sprint wheel nuts, So went to test fit the wheels last night. Bolted the fronts on and all looks good. However at the rear they dont seem to tighten up? I've got the wheel nuts done up tight but the wheel is still loose and rocks about. I've not looked into it yet but i think the rear studs must be too long? I will investigate more tonight, has anyone else come across this? |
