Hi all, well I just got home to Ireland after collecting my Cerb! Wow what a beast, better than I had hoped it would be!

A couple of things spring to mind - firstly this car has been lowered slightly, and that's a bad thing here in Ireland where the roads are crap.

The car has Nitron shocks - so I guess I can adjust it up a bit, but how much, how many turns etc?

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy.

p.s. who's was the yellow Cerb I spotted near Camarthen today?

Not sure about the Nitrons but the Avo unit is approx 3mm + or - adjustment in height for every full turn on the damper body.

Glad to hear you got home OK. It was sad to see the car go but i thought you look pleased with your purchase.

Offords did the suspension set up and if you speak to Simon I reckon he will be glad to help.

Enjoy her

The only way to do it is to raise the car equally on all four corners, checking the height front to back and side to side.
The car needs top be higher at the back than front and ideally you should have the corner weights set at the same time.

Any time you change the ride height you also need to check and correct the camber and toe-in.
