Discreet but capable

Well, that's a tad more lift than I was expecting.......


Dave at the garage did me proud, new springs, poly bush panhard bushes and poly bush castor correction bushes, all fitted for £200

Only had a short drive on a tight and twisty back road and it feels different, a tad twitchy on the steering but I think that's because the lift has tightened the anti roll bar. I might be able to adjust the dampers to address it or it's another spend on adjustable drop links.

Lol! :laugh: welcome to the lifted club :laugh:

You should try it for 'twitchy' with huge tyres on :ohmy:

Be interesting to see how you get on with the adjustable droplinks. Mine is better with the antiroll bar disconnected once you get used to the body roll :laugh:

It looks ok matey give it time to settle
as for drop links drop the bar from front cross member on a spacer (cheap option for now)

Forgive my ignorance but fitting adjustable arb drop links isn't going to make the slightest difference is it? The way to adjust the effect of the arb is to alter either the thickness of the bar or the length of the returns on the bar from the centre line of the chassis mounts to the holes the drop links fix into? The angle that thr return arms occupy relative to the horizontal isn't relevant to it's performance?

Lengthening the drop links will reduce tension on the arb and soften its input.

Shortening (which is what has happened because of the lift) makes rebound sharper and can cause a cross axle wobble if severe.

By moving the bottom mount up or down, you increase or decrease the preloaded torsional tension that the anti roll bar is under. This can vastly alter spring across the axle, easier to understand as rebound. Hit a pot hole on one side and get a jump from the other side in rebound.
