Ive given it it's first very brief test drive since the refurbishment and first time with the weight of the car on it's suspension.
The ride height especialy at the back seems way too high, roughly 95mm from the top of the tire to the arch(at the back)175mm to the chassis rail, and 75mm (at the front)160mm to the chassis rail.
All Griff's and Chims ive had were around the 150/155 height.
The standard Bilstiens have been regassed and reco'ed.
Do you think it will settle with a decent spin?I nipped up the wishbones on full droop,will that make any difference?

Yes..The bushes need bolting up in ride height position.

I nipped them up at ride height and no difference.
I had adjustables on before so these haven't seen any compression for over two years,would that make any difference?
