Afternoon all
Ok my 350 has a very low ride height and although it looks good and the ride and handling are good too it does cause a lot of problems when it comes to road humps and sleeping policemen (of which there many round my way) and my exhaust is slowly being destroyed
At the rear I have adjustable coil overs (anyone recognise the make?) so can increase the ride height easily [url]
At the front though things are less clear |http://thumbsnap.com/Gob90zMF[/url]
Avo shocks and I think lowering springs as the springs don't appear to have been cut ( the ends are formed to give a flat top and bottom. I'm guessing the only option is to replace the front springs to get the front higher - unless I'm missing something? Would like another 30- 40mm (wouldn't we all - oooheeer missus) ground clearance
Thanks peeps
Ron

Hi Ron , glen (gmw9666) on here has some springs for sale , i am going to see him this afternoon so could measure them and bring them back with me if you thought they would fit the bill ? It would halve the distance you would need to go to get them ????

and this was the front ride height it gave with 15" rims so you can compare

the few times I did drive the old beastie (RIP) I never had ground clearance issues FYI

They do look a lot like the AVOs I had on my Esprit...
