Do you have an own lift for your car?
How high is now your STi for germany?

Lift - do you mean ramp in a workshop ? In which case no, I use a trolley jack.

Ride heights are now 345mm front 335mm rear from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch.

You adjust the height in your garage with a trolley jack?

Your car is in the rear 1cm deeper?

How did you arrive at those heights?

5mm up from what they were

Yeah the rear is a tad lower than the front but that keeps a small rake in the floor from rear to front but reduced rake from standard. Set up is as advised by Zen and the guys at exe-tc and keeps my adjusted roll centre high to help corner flatter.

My actual Setup is with the 18" 350mm front and 330mm rear.

On the ring I will drive with 17" and semislicks. I find the car is much more better when it

wow - just back from Northampton. Paul at Zen kindly offered me use of a ramp today so that I could do the bits while I was picking up the discs and whiteline jobbies. I got everything done

so today have done:

1. replace lower wishbone
2. replace ball joint for Whiteline RC adjusted version
3. replace track rod end for Whiteline version
4. replace both front discs
5. re-do geometry
6. replace oil cooler core
7. check all pipework

knackered and dirty

Good news Dunc...
great to see you again.
Can't believe how light the damage looks!

And you Mike.

Although I now know why I crashed

:lol:

Hope the car moves up towards to where it should be shortly :thumb:

oh forgot I replaced the gearbox mount for a Group N version because it was a planned upgrade but mainly because the existing mount was mush and bent by about an inch from the impact on the armco

It was lovely drive back bedding the brakes in (god love the PF bedding in instructions) and in retrospect I believe Gerry was right about the old oil cooler positioning, the new (bigger) cooler was side on and temps were much lower. 8)
