sorry, cant help till tonight (car at home)

dont have measurements for front/rear springs either

=(

anyone?

if you get stuck install the shocks etc, and if it is too low or too high simply jack up each wheel one by one, spring clamp x 2 and tighten up, then release the circlip and reposition. you dont need to uninstall everything, just use 2x spring clamps, and do it slowly.

350mm centre of wheel to guard lip.

sk bilstein look to be set at the 3rd lowest circlip, could be the 4th lowest mark.

sorry, cant kneel to look properly, went by feel on the gruves.

if you like the car low then try the 3rd from bottom circlip gruve. should be the 350mm mark, if not then 345mm. mine would look awesome at 345mm IMO, but SA laws state that 350 is the min distance.

hey all

i need to know asap which circlips will give what height using SK's shocks/springs. Also would be helpful to know how many MM front/rear the springs are shorter...

-Ryan

The standard groove, identified by the paint, gives 340 mm front and 320 mm rear when used with the Whiteline springs . That's after the usual settling in period of 1,000 k's or so. Each groove is 8 mm apart, so the recomended height (355/345) would require moving the circlip up 2 grooves on the front and 3 grooves on the rear. If you carry rear passengers often, have a sub abnd/or tow then I would suggest going up 4 grooves on the rear.

Cheers

Gary

just $20 spring clamps

they arnt mine, a mate helped me put the suspn stuff on over 2yrs ago now.

we installed it, then dropped each corner by another circlip

mind you this bloke was an employee of ASE (adelaide suspn engineering?) for 9yrs, so he knew where to cut corners :)

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
