Default Rolling Rolling Rolling!

Rolling at last! Cant tell you all how happy i am. Only problem i have seen is the rear drivers side wheel is slightly toe in.... will have to investigate a bit more. Also note the front discs will be swapped for 330mm discs with brembo's
Also polo pic is to show the 13's compared to the 18's heh

I can,t quite see in the photos ( angle of photo), but is your "dummy shock" causing that? thats what it looks like to me

Yeah lol. Its going to be a bit nuts. Have to admit the ride height is not too bad. comes out at 16cm (6.3inches) using dummy shocks 330mm all around. Have to thank Saturn for the bits that arived today as without them all the bits would still be in box's lol
Ohh good thinking andy i will take a look tomorrow and see if thats the issue.

Does look good,Nice one

I shortened the dummy shocks I had on my chassis this afternoon,the change in camber was fairly large,may be better sorting the toe in problem when the suspension is set up with proper shocks.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.
