New Ride Height

[Gazcw]

Matt and Ash have done some great work on the QP over August. H&R springs, waxoyl treatment, bushes and alignment. Great drive home yesterday. And now it looks like it should.

Front wishbones. They were on their way out and cracked. I bought my springs from ebay. Rudiemods. £436.68 for all 4. 20mm lower.
Be warned apparently the bolts are a nightmare for the struts and regularly pull the threads out. Mine had many days of penetrating oil and one still needed to be cut out I think Matt said. Basically unless you want to risk it get an indie to do it plus geo set up after.

Front wishbone bushes can be changed?. I thought it had to be new wishbones complete .. mine are knocking over bumps so it’s possible they are now due

I can tell they've been at it - your Trident tips are pointing at you valves

 

[conaero]

Yes all the bushes, two upper and two lower can be changed, although it’s usually the uppers that’s go.

You have to have the factory tool to do it. Here’s Ash doing my Strad today

Haha. Indeed. Ash did say he had aligned the centre caps.

I think my car might have been lowered before I got it - looks lower like this car, and normal/sports button doesn't seem to make any different suspension-wise - will look tmrw, maybe capped off....

Sport button still works on mine. Slightly harder but not had opportunity to check it more. Not sure it is necessary now. Corners flat and much faster. Love it.

Guess the balljoint is left connected allowing access to bushes by spinning the wishbone?

Nice touch.
Turns out I have mine fitted incorrectly, by 180 degrees
