Fitted!

Post by indigolemon » Sun Mar 25, 2012 8:56 pm

Today they were fitted. They were adjusted. Both rear upper balljoints were found to be goosed. I'm sure I'll care soon. At the moment I'm still going round corners much faster than before and giggling.

Currently running 50% front and 75% rears as per some research I did earlier this week.

Good news! :D Knew you'd love the results.
I'm on different springs, but try 100% front and 87.5% rear....or backed off a quarter turn to you and me.
Works a charm for me :mrgreen:

Of course, the first thing I did was try 100% all round. Car had no body roll at all, and I felt every single undulation in the road surface :lol:

Ben - apparently as it's a FWD car you want softer front and a higher setting for the rears. That certainly seems to work for me on some twisty roads near here with the 50% front, 75% rear setup.
