I think my rears about the same height as that mate. If i put stuff in the back the tyres disappear, lol.
Phil - Yeah mate. The two adjusters that screw together arnt needed. If you remove them the spring will just sit on the spring platform, as if you just had lowering springs.
Will try take a pic of mine at some point.

Yeah quite a few people do it! Does get them very low!
I know mine are screwed as i've still got them in and its set to the highest setting!!!

They are bolted through the axle on KW's so you can't,m they don't use the pigtail spring design, it's a linear spring like the front set-up.

Philthy, look under the car at the rear spring, it wont sit on the axle moulding right as its a different spring design.
Well, Middos V2's were anyway!

They go through the hole in the axle and bolt together, the spring sits on that. I'll try and find a pic....
I kinda see what you're saying mate. Rear spring on my ledas just sits loose on the platform, not seen them bolted before.

The spring is loose on the platform but the platfor is bolted to the axle. The springs on the KW's are straight not oval so it wouldnt sit right on the axle and rattle like a b*****d. Does that make sense? Can't explain it very well without hand movements, lol.
Very f**king sweet!
Some makes do have a platform that bolts to the axle.
straight springs as used in the LEDA and other kits (kw apparently - never seen them) sit fine on the std axle. they dont rattle.
The eibach race coils are avalaible in different lengths, widths and lb's. Deamon tweeks sell them.
Johnc172 - have you spoken to mark about your rear springs? Get some eibach race coils!
These are not prices from mark but front springs are about £55+v
rears are probably cheaper arround the £40+v mark also avaliable from deamon tweeks if you know what length/width/spring rate you want!

whats that exhaust? its got a very nice tail pipe!
Well......I haven't updated this for a while so thought i would...
Not much has happened in the modification stakes really, I was just getting the car ready for Bedford (which is now about a month ago)
From the previous posts you can see i bought some colway slicks, i know they were re-moulds so don't give me s**t, i wanted to see what they were like....if you read on you will see what happened..
My first lap out and my first time out with slicks, i took it really easy, but obviously not easy enough as i span on the 3rd corner! After the tyres has warmed up and i started to do some flying laps, my thoughts of the tyres were, ok these aren't too bad, T1R's were better but for cheap i couldn't complain, then about 5 laps in BANG and lots of slapping noises!! I thought WTF so pulled in the pits to see this....
Which resulted in my arch liner being ripped out and a chunk of my side skirt..
I couldn't beleive it at all, i thought it must have been a dodgy tyre, so put my road tyres back to the rear and but another slick on the front, exactly the same thing happened!!!
Here's the 2 together...what a mess eh!!
So following from that...my conclusion DON'T GET REMOULDS!!!! Like i said don't give me s**t for buying them, at least i had the bottle to try them rather than umming and arrring!
Here's a pic with the pink rims on before i went out on track, looks mint haha!!
After the track day, packed up shop and started to leave the track, when breaking i heard ALOT of metal on metal, i knew exactly what that meant, no brakes left!! Quick trip to Halfrauds and £13 later i now had a new set of pads, great for get me home pads!
now that was about 3 weeks ago....since then my syncros in 3rd have 4th have completely gone, and on Sunday night my clutch died!!
So before I go on track again i need...new front brake set up new clutch and a recon box! Woohoo LOL!
As you can prob tell there's a lot to do, i'll be updating this alot of the next few months as the rebuild begins, it's coming back better and stronger so keep posted....

Those Colways must have been way past they're ideal usage date surely?
They are (or were) FIA approved after all.

Yeah I heard they were reasonable as well, but erm...they ain't good LOL!
Yeah i've seen a lot on here go recently, to be fair it hasn't had an easy life at all, from day one really!
I'll be taking it to Mark for sure, just a matter of getting the car to him and looking at the funds!!
Brand new from tweeks, fitted and used about a month after them being purchased!
I think they were just really terrible!

The tyres should not have done that,remolds or not
