I need a hug.

Post by ChrisW » Mon Mar 23, 2015 3:02 pm

Car just booked in at Unit 20 for:

Brakes (front & rear)
Upper Wishbones all round
Engine Mount
KW lowering springs
Service

Time for one of those 24 month interest free credit cards I think! I can stomach a few bits here and there, but that little lot is going to come in at a fair whack. Admittedly the lowering springs are optional, but this reverse rake is really bugging me.

Are you getting lowering 'springs' or adjustable ones? Lowering springs will make no difference with regards to the rake.

I've got just springs on mine and the chassis technically sits level like yours. Yes it looks shat! I'll be after some adjustable ones shortly.

You could do the spring perch mod, but I'm not too comfortable with the way that works.

Im getting the KW adjustable ones, I'm not into cutting tabs off perches.
