Why? The throw is huge.

Probably a good thing though. JC5 boxes don't like to be rushed. I'd know.
All joking aside Turner the box is f**king horrible. Like an 80s item, hated the thing in the Trophy.

I need some lowering springs and from feedback the Eibach sportlines seem the best choice..being used to standard means anything after that is crashy..

If you want a little bit more lowz chris I recomend the h&r's. The sportlines from that place in Germany are a very good price though at £100 ish

The way your car sits it's just perfect I just hate the compromise of lowering springs

The wheels sat too far in when they were fitted. Think the offset is 40/42. Honestly mate I'd be happy using this for longer stints.

we've done at least 20,000 miles on the wife's car since we fitted h&r's. they are fine, on smooth roads they are fantastic!! not crashy as long as rest of your suspension is fine.

Scenic shifter fitted and over the moon. Miles better than before. Deflectors on too.

Post pics at the weekend

What does it improve? I'm assuming the throw is better ie gears feel closer together. Does it tighten things up too?

It has the yanoo bush rather than the rubber type.

It's obviously taller so your not reaching down.

Nicer and more precise changing gear.

Couple of small updates.

20mm h&r spacers on the front. I've ordered the pms rear shims to space the rear out, will be done Thursday all being well.

Cheers John. If there was a 'thank you for the kind offer but not at the moment' I would be pressing it lol. Not the best pic and the ground is flat ish but this is how it sits

Looks cracking! RB is so good when shiney and is definitely the 2nd best colour behind Iceberg silver..:tongueout: Boy I wish Renault did Iceberg on the 182..!
