Urgent

hey all

i need to know asap which circlips will give what height using SK's shocks/springs. Also would be helpful to know how many MM front/rear the springs are shorter...

sorry, cant help till tonight (car at home)

dont have measurements for front/rear springs either

=(

anyone?

if you get stuck install the shocks etc, and if it is too low or too high simply jack up each wheel one by one, spring clamp x 2 and tighten up, then release the circlip and reposition. you dont need to uninstall everything, just use 2x spring clamps, and do it slowly.

sweet... didnt think of that

350mm centre of wheel to guard lip.

sk bilstein look to be set at the 3rd lowest circlip, could be the 4th lowest mark.

sorry, cant kneel to look properly, went by feel on the gruves.

if you like the car low then try the 3rd from bottom circlip gruve. should be the 350mm mark, if not then 345mm. mine would look awesome at 345mm IMO, but SA laws state that 350 is the min distance.

The standard groove, identified by the paint, gives 340 mm front and 320 mm rear when used with the Whiteline springs . That's after the usual settling in period of 1,000 k's or so. Each groove is 8 mm apart, so the recomended height (355/345) would require moving the circlip up 2 grooves on the front and 3 grooves on the rear. If you carry rear passengers often, have a sub abnd/or tow then I would suggest going up 4 grooves on the rear.

ended up using a lathe and getting 365 front, 370rear. i have sub/amp/dogs/mates/weekend luggage so thought higher would be better... we did it by guesswork and basic tape measure skillz... Can anyone tell me why i have 3 bumpstops?

what spring clamps are u guys using to be able to adjust the heights while they are still installed? i have to remove them from the car to get my spring clamps to go on properly. Bit of a pain to do compared to the threaded versions

just $20 spring clamps

they arnt mine, a mate helped me put the suspn stuff on over 2yrs ago now.

we installed it, then dropped each corner by another circlip

mind you this bloke was an employee of ASE (adelaide suspn engineering?) for 9yrs, so he knew where to cut corners
