The last two weeks Ive been busy setting up the suspension on my car.
Fitted lowering springs to the front two weeks ago, twice(cocked it up the first time), then did the rears last weekend, also had to fit a new HID ballast(bumper off job
). On Tuesday night I fitted a rear strut brace, already got a front one fitted. Yesterday, I re-did the fronts suspension again as I had bought new bump stops and boots. I also fitted new track rod ends.
Took it for a tracking and geometry set up this morning, £55 to have toe and cambers set as I wanted. I really want to set the caster too, but standard strut tops wont allow this
I think both need replacing anyway, so something to do next year maybe.
Car feels great now, much stiffer than before and gives me far more confidence in the corners, at least in the dry. 8-)
Just gave her a clean too, now I can really enjoy her as it seems the last few weeks have been spent working on her and shes not given much in return. Also my finger nails have been constantly dirty so would be nice to have them clean for a while.
Next job, refurb my alloys, got a spare set waiting. Then get some decent tyres on the rear.
For now, some pictures.
