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?
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away!

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

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

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 :o

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)
