Not sure what the actual measurement would be, when i fitted mine i set the spring cup height slightly lower than the origional bilstein set up but have since raised the rears again (suprising the difference even 5mm can make) . Easily done so you can play around with it after fittment. The springs will settle and need reajusting after a few miles anyway. Made a big difference to the cars handling, hope yours are as good.

Elite in rainham, OR Super tyres in maldon.

Both very very good.

Supertyres however, left my mates elise' hub bolts loose, which wasnt very nice.

Yup me! had plenty of time setting these sods up...

First fitted them myself and got TVR Fix to set the ride height... Derek from ABshocks said 160mm rear and 150mm front to outrigger which is a good benchmark.

Trouble with these cars is each one is different, put together differently and bodywork being slightly different measurements and we all have unique driving styles. Luckily for me TVR Fix ignored my requst and set it what looked right and to be hoest they did a fantastic job that day.

Since... have been to David Batty the Garage... I said the same info to him after changing all 4 shocks, but he did what I said 150mm front and 160mm rear but it looked and felt odd.... so another hour or so was spent getting it to look right. Now its perfect again.

My advice...? fk what the advised settings are, look at it, measure to the top of the wheel arch and get it set up right for you and what you like.... but it will be handy to have a mate with a pit
