Thanks APS - was 100 mm - he was 12mm under.

Aresholes anyway - Must want enough room so's if you run over a skinny cop he won't get hurt.

Not necessarily. I don't know the exact measurement but my MX-5 was below 100mm and I wasn't pulled over for anything in almost 9 years of daily driving (was followed a lot but never stopped). Of course if you want to be legal then yes 100mm.

The main thing is to learn how to approach obstacles and to take them slower than normal.

Yeah my Celica was lowered 2.5", and i've hired a few Ferraris before and should have that part down by now.

My Dad actually ripped the front off one of the Ferraris getting out of the driveway, I saw the whole thing and was running after him on foot because the front half of the car was dragging on the ground! He went a couple KM before coming back. Needless to say that stuffed it pretty good.

There was a lesson to be learned there.

Frosty,
I can see all yours. Is it because im posting right after your posts so you dont see your name on the Au front page? Is that what you mean? Or you just cant see your posts here?

Own half a million dollars worth of computers and can't get past the on switch. Can see the posts when I post new, but when I go to the thread I'm not there!

Might be better in the morning after rebooting.

Meant moderator - was a bit excited when doing that reply.

Must be coming up on everyone else's computers.
It's the dopey pc's.
Gimme Macs anyday.

Just saw this link showing the install procedure posted in another thread:
http://www.g-owners.com/article_read.asp?id=12

I imagine it's identical on the Zed or very nearly so.

The only down side this it needed another wheel alignment after the install.

That brings me to another question. What alignment setting are you running now? I'm in particular interested in how much front camber have you got now that you are running shorter springs.
