driven down a bumpy road to help them settle in a bit

Driven a couple of miles, it feels a lot tighter but seems to sit the same, but when I put the new and old springs next to eachother you could see the massive difference in length

dukeoffenland

changed wheel size too by the looks of it?

Wheel size changed from 16's to 17's but changed the tyre profile to suit

I would give it 48 hours see how it sits , 35 mm it's not gonna be slammed on its **** but that looks higher than my standard springs

Still no change in height, could there be anything stopping it dropping like bump stops or anything else ?

Anyone ?

I've recently had Apex put on my blobeye and they dropped the ride height a nice amount. I can't fit my shoe in the gap now!

Sorry - no idea why yours hasn't done the same though...

Maybe you could see how many mates you can fit in it and see if that lowers it!

I don't think I've ever needed a quick drive round the estate to "settle" suspension.

Do you know the origins of your shocks? I suspect you have newage shocks which are slightly longer and hence you are getting the increased ride height

These are the ones I bought, it clearly states what model they are for unless they have buggered up somewhere

Sorry to say mate on eBay everything that shines ain't gold,it may say apex on the box but it could be made by ho Ming chi's grandson in a under ground factory in china,there is just to much counterfeit products on there now.SJ.

And still doesnt answer the question about the shocks. If they are newage then they have a longer shock body and will give you the increased ride height you are seeing

His car is the classic in the first post,so I would guess that he has classic shocks.SJ.

Look at the height of it in the first pic. You can fit newage shocks in a classic.

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

I know that new-age shocks will fit a classic and yes they are longer in the body so would raise his car up but why would he do that?SJ.

Gambit

iTrader: (6)

I suspect the car was bought like that.

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

Your proberly right then.SJ.

That's strange as I have had the same setup for about 5+ years and I can see a difference..

The back sits loads lower, even on standard springs, the car was used for off roading and I bought it with the ride height that high, how can I tell if they are new age as it looks as though they have been changed, mine have an adjustable camber bolt each side and it looks set to extreme positive camber compared to the back

Sorry mate I misread it, I thought you said springs.

Stonejedi: the springs were imported from Germany

Gambit

If you are lucky you might find a part number on the shock body but depends how much road crud and salt has corroded them.

Std they come with camber adjustment bolt on front

alternativily pickup a set of secondhand classic front shocks and trial fit/compare

Will have to do that I guess, easy enough to remove so not so bad, cheers all for clearing that up
