Tigz™ Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah -35mm isn't much when they are new.Will take a few months before they settle much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toi gulp Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 it may sound obvious but you sure you got the front springs on the the front and vice versa, there really is only one way to do it. as for the car listing there will inevitably be a small difference due to the offside being heavier, you can expect about 5-10mm difference between them but that would be barely visible to the eye.you should measure under the highest point of the wheelarch before and after to check.

LupoMainiac1000 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks for the advice guys, ill bet its something simple(i hope!) and can be sorted soon, MOT next month! Toi-gulp- yeh it looked simple enough and both front and back springs/shocks were even sperated in the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Phase Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 get some heavy stuff to in the back to weight it down springs need time to settle in as tigz said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoMainiac1000 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hey guys, not sure how many of you there are left but does anyone still run on the standard wheels and springs? if so any chance anyone could measure the arch to centre of alloy for front and back for me? i would like to compare them plus the company wants to know the difference as it thins they have sent the right ones, Phase, i realise they need to settle, however unless they are gonig to settle about 40mm higher than they are the now ive got a prob! currently on full lock stationary the tyre misses the arch by a few mm and the front end is rock solid on the move. I like the idea of weighting the back down! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
