Hello All
I thought I would give an update as to the shocks and springs.
Firstly I would like to say thanks for the info and pics, this was all very helpful especially for the setting up.
In the end, I went for Gaz shocks and standard springs with adjustable ride and height which I purchased from R----rs.
I have just fitted the front ones for now and they have been on about a month and done 200 miles, as you say have had to adjust a couple of times due to settling of the springs.
I have them set at 8 clicks and ride height of between 330mm and 335mm from wheel arch to wheel centre, I find this gives a good ride and is a lot better than the old Spaxs and lowered springs I had
fitted before.
On Saturday I reset the ride to the above measurements and went on a 50-mile drive on Sunday, when I got home the springs had settled down to 320mm from wheel arch to wheel centre.
What I have found concerning is that the spring platform on the o/s is about 25mm from the top of the screw thread and the n/s is right at the top of the screw thread leaving no more adjustment? is
this right or have I missed something out or done something wrong or could it be that the springs I have been sold are too soft.
I put the springs and shocks together as per the workshop manual.
Can anybody help?
Thanks.
