There's no lever. Cups don't have them. He added one, but removed it again after it did jack all.
As the Swedish man said there is a manual adjustment. The locking nut is solid yet the Allen key thing can move. Tried it fully up and fully out - no difference.
With the nut being stuck it has to...
The guy before me fitted the coilovers to mine, but its evident 'some' of the front arch lining has been 'trimmed'. Depends how low you've gone.
Pic of the bracket?

You are more than welcome to take it out on Sunday Ken - Its a single seater, so you'll have to be brave and go out on your own!
These don't appear anymore.
Why?
Are RStuning still going?!

And we were doing so well!!!!! Arrrrgggh.
Went for a spin after resolving most of the niggles and could smell burning rubber or plastic. And the suspected clutch noise was getting worse! It didn't seem to matter whether the clutch was in or out either!
Popped the bonnet with the engine...
