Booked it through www.alignmycar.co.uk and used a garage over near Halifax named Sunside Service Station Darren. Guy seemed very knowledgeable so hopefully I wont have any tyre issues!

Currently set at, Left front -0*21 Right front -0*33 Left rear -1*29 Right rear -1*29 I just left them to it and am happy with the results so far :)

Finally managed to get the car a full four-wheel laser alignment this morning. Readings were way out and I'm extremely impressed with the results, car feels so much more planted and I have regained confidence pushing it through corners once more! :approve: Combined with the K-Tec...

Yeah, I was referring to the fronts ;)

Seems a decent price that. Can't suggest anywhere else to try unless GSF stock them? Is it snapped from the adjuster back?

If you push a damper down it will stay down unless a spring is fitted. They are naturally at their shortest setting and extended to fit, so to speak.

Ah yeah, didn't realise that was you fella! Knew Rivington would claim a CS casualty at some point!! :dapprove:

Bad road that! :dapprove: Gutting about the car but least you're both ok! :)

Well if you use those 'self drilling' screws provided you wont need to remove anything, but personally I'd want something more substantial otherwise it's pointless fitting the brace.

It needs bolting to the turret yes. I wouldn't use those screws I'd user proper bolts with nyloc threads to stop them working loose. I'm not sure what the clearance is like under the turret but you may have to remove the struts for access.

Yeah, cos that's the attitude to have when someone damages your car... Hope it gets fixed nice and cheaply Lee :)

If it's off centre and not seated right then the only solution is to take it apart again and check everything over as you put it back.

Yes, you're unlikely to wear out the dampers as they are uprated and designed to be used with lowering springs. If you fit lowering springs to your standard dampers then this will normally result in them wearing out quicker.

Only 'in the twisties' ;)

They are firmer than V-Maxx in my opinion, having had both fitted to my 182.

Can be seen here. Anyone got a cool £900K laying around??

Yes I understand that - but when you took them apart were both sides the same? As in no parts missing from one side?

The turret is the party of the bodywork that the suspension pokes through into the engine bay. If a part has been missed off from the top mount under the turret then the amount of thread showing inside the bay will be greatly increased.

Gutting Lee! Not having much luck with the car hey!

They do sometimes sit away from the body work depending on what position the car and wheels are in. If it's on a flat surface with the wheels straight then they should be the same. When you took the springs off did you make sure everything was put back correctly on the mount under the turret?

Do you have any pics of how the top mount is sitting? Is it too high to shut the bonnet? Have they always been like this or is it since some work was carried out?

Annoying thing is, I'm only at 46K too... :dapprove: Oh and I've deleted some parts, hence the price difference Ben.

Lol, daft thing is if it'd have been around the £800 mark I'd have paid it to preserve my 'Dealer stamp'. As it is I shall be heading to Birchdown and saving myself £600 :approve:

Well, it was worth a try but not very likely... :eek:

Several months ago I managed to fit three kids (including seats), a pram, a cool bag containing picnic, the children's mother and myself in my 182... The bloke nextdoor called it a Tardis! lol! It's surprising how practical they are as a 'family' car ;)

Lol, mine was like that on the first attempt, the tyre was resting against the arch liner and the splitter was about 30mm above the tarmac!

Very nice :) Height looks spot on to me fella, any scrubbing?

Kev, take a look here.
