so will someone call me a toss*r and say not to worry, just one of the rear springs does look far more squished than the other....

Thanks again for the work fred... it drives nice. Just please tell me im being silly.

Springs take time to settle. Depends if you drive round corners one way more then the other that theyll sit quicker, plus your sat on 1 side so more weight. Give it a few weeks and should be sorted

Looks great btw

cheers mate.... i was so bored i even started to count the number of coils on each spring... thought theyd sent me a 40 and a 60 in the kit, coz thats about the difference in height.

i think it looks nice and subtle.. well worth the trip to see fred.

I pretty much stood in the garage while he got soaked.... gave him a few beers and cash though for his efforts.

 

[Fred@BTM]

which side of the car do you sit on???

or in other words, which side of the car has the most weight??

thats normal, clios are very sensetive (ride height wise)

even if you park in the middle of the salt flats, itll still be 5mm out

 

[Gary G]

Plus theres the fuel tank ;-)
