I'm still not happy with the ride height since reco'ing the shocks.
Ive nipped everything at ride height,given the car a few short drives and its still to high.
I'm going to get shorter springs and a little adjustability with adjustable platforms,can some one please give me a front and rear compressed spring length on some original bilsteins and springs as I want to see if they around what I have on the car now before working out the new spring lengths.

Cheers Paul

When you say compressed spring length,what exactly are you looking for?Do you mean the length of the srping when fitted to the shock with or without the body weight,ie fitted or not to the car.Mine aent re-fitted to the car yet,but i could easily measure the length of them on the shock,and can also give you the free length,ie unfitted front and rear springs,if you like?
Cheers,Mike
