hey,
i bought myself some used lowered front suspension, off a half cut: unknown lowered springs and KYB shocks.
When i had it put on my car, i just went to a average mechanic, seemed he didnt know alot about sports cars.
Anyways when we got the supsension all put on, he was worried about the safety of it all. Because while jacked up in the air, and with the shocks hanging down, the springs just sat about half way up them, so there was a gap (if ya get what i mean, between the top of the springs and the top strut bit).
As he didnt work with sports cars, he said on normal everyday cars, that shouldnt be the case, he said that the springs should always have contact with the struts when they are fully extended.
I am really happy with the hight, makes my front bar exactly 100mm from the ground. So i was wondering if there were any safety probs with this? Maybe if i went over a big hump or something, is there a safety prob with maybe the springs not sitting right on landing?
cheers for any help or advice you can give me
