    Ride height

    Hi, Has anyone got a note of what the OEM rear spring rate, and length is?? We are working on the suspension now ~ it sits very very high, I'm not sure the springs i have are actually for this car. It was an unfinished project when i took it on so a lot of things were half-done.

    New genuine complete ATE repair kit for master cylinder RHD - SOLD

    There are 5 seals (highlighted in Orange) required for the master cylinder. I cannot understand why the kits only come with 4 seals? Also, what are the parts I have highlighted in Blue? These were not inside the one I have just dismantled..... Any ideas??

    brake master cylinder identification

    Rohan, The top one(used) MC in your 1st post is the same as was pulled from my 3.0 csi. I am looking to rebuild with new seals; but cannot understand how/why suppliers can justify ~£90 on a seal kit! Chris

    Comparison of aftermarket suspension

    Ah ok. I would be putting on the original top mounts to begin with as I have new ones... Im just off the phone to BC Racing, im told the dampers can be tailor-made in the factory to a damping range. I need to advise them on what spring rates I will be using so they can match this up with the...

    Which Suspension? Fully adjustable. Road use.

    Hi, Yeah the more I read and watch(youtube); I understand a bit more, then end up with more questions.... I actually wasn't referring to helper springs, but I now understand their purpose! Speaking of helper springs; JamesE30 on your H&R setup, what is between the helper spring and the main...

    Comparison of aftermarket suspension

    Thanks, I think im getting a better understanding.... I see setups like in the below picture and getting it in my head this is the only way to do it properly: having a separate way of adjusting height... Im also liking the idea of this!! https://catuned.com/catuned-e9-e3-bavaria-coilovers

    Which Suspension? Fully adjustable. Road use.

    Hi, can you advise on how you adjust the ride height without selecting different spring lengths or changing the spring pre-load? I imagine after building, you adjustedhe collar to +/-5mm up to slightly grip/compress the spring and set the pre-load. Im sure you could continue to adjust further...

    Comparison of aftermarket suspension

    How do you adjust the coilover length / ride height? I imagine after building, you would adjust the collar to +/-5mm up to slightly grip / compress the spring and set the pre-load. Surely then you could continue to adjust further and yes that would in turn adjust the ride height. But, I cannot...

    Which Suspension? Fully adjustable. Road use.

    I take it the ride height on the fronts cannot be adjusted without altering the pre-load?

    Which Suspension? Fully adjustable. Road use.

    Do you take any height off the original strut length, or just weld on the threaded collar?
