Doing bodywork

[gingea1pom]

Geeman,

Ref. ride height I haven’t got that far yet so am probably talking out of my a*r*.

I am stuck at my brother-in-laws in Manchester with nothing to do but check the forum. May be I should stop posting and just read!!!

Cheers Ginge

Geeman, Don't you have your rear hubs on steel tubes, rather than on shocks?

Looks like we've found your issue then . The shocks will compress even when no one is sitting in them as there is still a lot of weight over the rear end from the diff, chassis, fuel tank and body work, where as the tubes wont.

hmm.. still been hesitant to buy the shocks(price), it'll probably be the last thing i buy..

Yeah with a car even partly assembled, the shocks squish down a fair bit. Thats your issue then. You'll have to buy them eventually, whether its now or later. Might as well get them now, so you can mount everything correctly and cut your side panels to suit.

There is currently a group buy for shocks and springs going on at LCB forum, the guy is trying to get protech down to £350 delivered for a complete set.
