Several people who've changed their suspension have said that they had to... or maybe they were taking about removing the hubs.

Me, paradigm and cymatty all met up for a pre-MM3 meet this afternoon. Was a good little meet, including lots of slating of my car :D I was pushing hard and had cymatty in my view the whole time :cool: Paradigm was long gone though... then we found out that he had no spare tyre. Damn weight saving cheater ;)

Oh, I had my brakes smoking by the end of it! Very scary when I couldn't stop!

I was going 8/10ths and had a passenger. :p
 
The first few corners I was reeling you in... it was only on the straights that I backed off. I didn't do more than 75 along the top road, it was just too twitchy on standard springs.

I had my new suspension in the back of my car :p And so, my step brother weighs 8 stone. :p
 
I'm coming with a huge kerb chain to match my new mods ;)

Hopefully mine will be that low :cool:

Kinda worried when I parked up after the drive and had smoke coming out from the gaps in my wheels! I think I broke my discs :D

Glad you made it home El, I see you took a wrong turning :p

Don't remove them, just keep the hub and lower arm as one.

Oh ok. I was looking at the new shocks and it just seems that they slot into a gap at the bottom near the hub and then bolt into place.

Doesn't look too hard. Cheers Si, will keep that in mind :)

I've ordered some lower shock mounting bolts for the fronts as Nash from RT said they normally have to be broken off.

Oh, got the CTS ;)

edit... :o I'm such a spammer!
 
Ah sod waiting, here are a couple of shots from the pre-MM3 meet we had today. It was bloody cold out there so we didn't hang around for too long.


At last, my car made it to the meeting spot!


Si's dirty rally schlag!


That exhaust looks a little bent... almost like the owner really! :grin:
