Hi Joe,
We're all still waiting for you to post your new set-up details & spring rates & ride heights on the Wiki.
Looking forward to seeing you with a nice taut rear end on this year's Eurotour

Will you be ready for Burghley Joe?

Cheers for the replys guys, just got to get time to fit now. Is it correct that I measure the ride height from each corner of the outriggers.

[greymrj]

Yes, measure from each corner of the outriggers but you also have to use a bit of common sense as well. On one corner of mine there is a rather large weld which would take about 4mm off the ride height! More seriously though, it is quite probable that the chassis and suspension will not be quite perfectly aligned now. If, for example you get the ride height dead right as per the thread mentioned above, but you find the from lower wishbones are at slightly different angles or the front dampers differ in length more than a couple of mm then you might well have to play around a bit to get the suspension balanced but with slightly different ride heights. The ride heights on mine are over 10mm different with the suspension set up right.

[glenrobbo]

It may be worth mentioning that you have to allow the suspension to "settle" before you measure the ride heights, so take it for a little drive after dropping it off the axle stands.
Also find the flattest most level surface you can find to measure your heights.
Even small humps & bumps make a huge difference.
Take an average of a few readings parked in different spots.
And ideally a couple of sacks of spuds ( or whatever your weight equivalent is ) on the driver's side , unless you usually have a passenger.
