I might have to adjust the stance, looks a bit high at the front or a bit low at the rear :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

Yep, I was thinking that too. Not sure what your leaf suspension is like, bit I added a leaf to mine and it has transformed the stance and helped the handling. About £30 and shipping from Summit.

It has a Hotchkis kit on the back, I not sure but I think the front mounting is lower, but as it was on when I bought it I don't know what a standard one looks like. :roll: maybe reverting to a standard front mount might lift it a bit, if in fact they are different.

I'm not sure, but aren't they reversible ? Something in my memory telling me you can flip the front spring hanger to lower the spring eye. I'm sure someone will chip to clarify.

They look much better and suit the car, that's for sure.

Whats the gap like between the leaf spring and the inner wall on the tyre when the car is sitting on the ground? :thumbright:

See picture, it doesn't change sitting on the ground about 30mm.

These ones are holes in the middle, so no advantage to turning them upside-down. :roll:
