Hello everybody

I have just had my S1 converted to S2 suspension as well as having all new bushes, joints, powder coated wishbones etc. I new there would be a reduction in ride height but mine is significantly lower than before. Is there a ride height adjustment I can make to raise it little?

Also I hadn't driven the car for 6 months but felt the steering to be a lot more heavy and with less self centring of the steering wheel from before. If the suspension is lowered does this make a difference to the steering weight?

Thanks for your reply. The work was done by a respected lotus independent specialist that is why I am surprised that it has been done incorrectly. I have been out of the country since I have had it done so will speak to them when I get back. The ride and handling have been improved immensely as you would expect and very pleased with that aspect, its just the steering and ride height that I am not happy with.
