Give those threads a good clean and waxing too. I appreciate you'll probably find a ride height and stick with it but it's worth keeping those units in good condition.

What do you suggest using?

Poor Boys do a selection of different things but initially just hot, soapy water and a scrubbing brush. You then just want something to stop corrosion.

I appreciate the more detailed explanation. The thing is it's not that expensive a car, and nor is it a track car or b-road blaster. I was honestly just hoping to achieve a half decent ride in terms of comfort and height.

The principles are the same whether you dealing with an expensive race car or a beater. Sorting out your ride height issues is going to be much easier if you understand what you are trying to achieve and how to achieve it.

^ I wouldn't be overly concerned with corner weighting unless it's a light weight race car. A road car has to cope with all sorts of different loads in the vehicle. Full tank, empty tank, just the driver or 3 passengers plus luggage etc.

this.

i have had my race car corner weighted a couple of times and i'll be buggered if i can tell the difference, whatever, it makes no difference to my lap times. So i take the ballast out and run it as light as possible
