Some questions :

Why 60/40 and not the same at both ends ?
How much were the bits ?
Any insurance implications ?

Cheers, Mike.

The front and back now have exactly the same gap around the tyre, so 60/40 was the right option....other were 25/25 50/30 from H&R.....springs were 158pound delivered....i fitted them so free labour lol

Does the lower front and higher back mean at speed the air flow will push the back down a bit more for extra traction?

Hardly noticeable but looking good.

More likely to mean the aerodynamics won't work as intended but not really an issue except at autobahn speeds I dare say.

AeroDynamics ???? lol Where????? i have come from an Exige, this thing dosnt have areodynamics lol..... alignmment has been done, via an analog level, but will be laser aligned this weekend.

the back has settle a bit over night, and the noticableness is very apparent if you think, before the drop i could get a 4 fingers in the arch, on the front and 3 on the back....now one finger gap on both.




and some mid drop action
