Ad.... Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hiya, tried doing a search but couldn't find any information... basically I'm after the rear end being a bit lower. I've got coilovers and they're wound down all the way at the moment.I've seen a few people take the base plates out and just zip tie the spring to the rear beam to keep them in place to give an extra drop. I just wanted to know if this was safe? Or if it would fail an MOT etc.Thanks, Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdt Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 My adjusters have been out for a while and ive never had a problem. once the weight of the car is on them they wont go anywhere. i'm not even using zip-ties as its hard to get the springs central that way.Your call really bud!

Ad.... Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Cool ok cheers. Might just try it then and ask an MOT station for their opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdt Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah good idea. Nothing bad will happen immediatly anyway, not like theyll come flying off the car. Update the thread when youve had some advice from the MOT station, would be interesting to hear their take!Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 if the car can be jacked up and the springs dislocate its an mot fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
