Not the same as oem version R Tony.

Anyone done this, what are the pros and cons, on the motorway at 70 mph it feels like it's over revving at 3000 rpm, I know this is the correct rpm, when it's doing 40 mph 3rd is to low and 4th is to high, they have made our local roads 30 and 40 mph speed limit backed up by speed cameras, this is from 60 mph.:xxx: Any ideas/comments welcome. thanks Paul

Thought everyone new about that,:whistling:

Hope this helps Terry See Section 5 comes with 2mm preload INSTALLATION PREPARATION • Before jacking the vehicle, measure the distance from the centre of the wheel to the top underside of the wheel arch. • Write these measurements down as a reference point for height adjustment after fitting the coilovers. It is important to adjust the height evenly to maintain safe handling characteristics. • The vehicle must be on a hard level surface to be jacked safely. • Use a trolley type floor jack (not a scissor jack) and support the car with axle stands. Do not attempt to fit suspension using only a jack, as the car will not be suf - ficiently stable. Serious injury or death may result from improper preparation. • It is recommended to install the front pair first and then the rear pair , by doing so the entire car does not need to be supported by axle stands. • Ensure that the axle stands are located in a suitable location as specified by the vehicle’s owner’s manual. 1. Remove wheels 2. Remove original coil/spring assembly (do not undo the top nut on the original shock absorber, as the spring may be under tension). 3. Insert the new Coilovers and loosely bolt the top mount into place before fitting the base. It may be necessary to use a floor jack to raise the hub when fitting the base. Optional: Coat all contact surfaces between the damper body and adjustment brackets with white lithium grease to prevent corrosion build up. 4. Do not fully tighten the top mount until car is on the ground, as premature tightening can damage the bolt thread. 5. When the top mount and base have been secured and tightened to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, tighten the spring base so that the spring cannot move up or down. The spring comes with 2mm pre-tension from the factory (some models have more). Check pre-tension before installation and ensure they are evenly pre-tensioned per axle. More spring tension may be require after fitting. 6. After setting the height (refer to next section) tighten the nuts on the top mount according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. A four wheel alignment will be required once the height has been se

Terry if you have not adjusted them then they are as they left the factory, just back them off to zero and come up a couple of clicks on each of them and see what that's like.

Hi Terry, my other car was an auto so I never pushed it as hard as your describing, but I did give it some beans and never felt that the car was unsafe.

Hi Terry, have you adjusted the spring platform since you got them, never had that problem when I had them. Sounds like you may need to soften them up.

The Battle of Britain, lol

Got family that live that way in Worle, Bearsteads fine with me let me know when you can make it. Paul

When I was truck racing we use to go through Condom on our way to the Paul Armagnac circuit near Nogaro. Always made us laugh.

Mini meet?

Hi Gaz, that guys name was Luke. Paul

Sorry to hear that is so bad Terry,

Yes, I think we missed an opportunity at the weekend Steve:wink:

Hi Terry, I think you need to put this into prospective, the bumper they can blow those bits in, so it's only the bonnet that needs repainting, just don't do anything you may reget.

I think the bracket needs to be behind what you are showing and a fixing screw goes in the center of the black fixing to hold the wing on, hope you get what I mean.

Got a picture

Put my name down Si.

:yes:

er :no: but thanks for the offer.

After seeing yours the week end Si, I made my mind up to keep the ironing board, lol

Well if Steve and Si say mk3+ spoiler is ok that's fine by me,lol. I was thinking about a 99spec rear spoiler for mine, then I saw how big it was on Simone's car at the weekend and it wouldn't look right on a shorty.

Just looked on line, it only states that you have to have insurance, it seems they don't check that you do have it.

I always tax mine online, haven't used a post office in a long time, might be different now.
