Thanks for explaining, definitely worthwhile then. It must feel lovely to drive with everything you have done to it.

with the new ones there's practically no give at all.
now I am not a [strike]dentist[/strike] spanner monkey, but it feels to me that this minor increase in rigidity had a major increase in car rigidity, driving on the road the car feel much tighter and more responsive, to try and explain the feeling it's like it used to go around a roundabout like a bus, lethargically yet controlled, whereas now it goes around like a mini - point and shoot, much easier to get the back end out
:laugh:
also re; the rear engine (gearbox) mount - the stick doesn't jump about so much and gear selection is easier as before, infrequently I'd miss a gear, but I'd put that down to the body lift and stick realignement, but it wasn't :whistle:
Do the springs have a seat for the pigtails or do jimny Springs end flat? Is it possible they have rotated and the end of the Spring being out of its seat account for the difference in heights?
I'm easy pleased.
