[SGHOM]

This cant be right ??
Barry & I put on my car his rear springs, It was bottoming out on the was back from manchester, but only on the N/S.

[SGHOM]

lets sum up where I stand at the moment;

I cannot get my car off the drive.. reason 1; see pics above.

reason 2; I have 2 flat front tyres thanks to that dickhead at kr@p-fit. [ the valves are fecked, so I cant inflate them. ]

I have a fecked van in manchester

Did one like that many years ago but at the front of a car ; you will need to go slowly all through everything you have left over and have done and keep a very open mind as the chances are that you have done something wrong. Don't assume anything, not even that the springs are a pair or that you have fitted both of a pair. My problem was that I added an extra shim on one side and removed one on the other, not believing I could make such a mistake I adjusted everything with corner weight scales and all seemed fine but the handling was really scary.

Good luck and let us know what the problem is when you find it.

FAO; KIERAN.

Can you get up here ASAP tomorrow please. I need to change my rear suspension again !!



I'm going to the effin pub now !!

[Paul Beazer]

Different springs / shocks for saloons and wagons??
Perhaps the self levelling shocks need pumping up??

[Spirit]

95% sure the standard springs are different, confirmed that with Bilstein at RT3, they only do the kit I have for the saloon.

I don't think this is as simple as that, looks far worse as Don said either something wrong with the fitting or the spring has bust ? The VR4's dont have self levelling shocks.

Derek and I put my springs on his rear shocks during the week.. We even double checked one by taking it apart again, huh Derek? - So I know the rears were put together ok, and theres no spare bits lying around

Did you do the fronts Derek?
