An inch makes all the difference.

Morning all

Fitted the recently purchased Oz 8 spokes to the car this weekend and at the some time adjusted the suspension as per the various threads on here.

195 and 20 clicks from hard on the rear and 175 and 16 clicks from hard on the front. I went a bit harder than some as the grounding out on the Dales roads was getting to me.

The whole car has come up at least 25mm and what a difference it makes. Driven it all weekend and this morning and it is so different. The handling is much sharper and more predictable especially on the limit (private road officer) and the incessant bottoming out has stopped! The steeing is also lighter?

The wheels have had a good clean, as they were filthy, I know some of you have had them recut and refurbished how much should I be saving up?

Got to be the 8 spokes for me. If you use the car a lot they are probably better painted or you will be forever polishing. I've seen a few painted in shadow chrome which looks good, probably get mine done in this one of the days. I have been quoted £100 per set for strip and paint.
