j_jza80 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Stretched tyres + loads of negative camber = crap handling and awful tyre wear. What the Yanks do really has no meaning over here, our roads are VERY different to theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretie22 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 What a pain. if i was you id wait till i got coilovers. And you can play with the hight as much as you like. Yeah, but the problem is it's either coil overs or our family holiday this year can't not take my son on holiday (well he doesn't care really,he's only one, can't not take myself on holiday ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 If your yellow Billies have alloy spring seats, the height could be adjusted with a circlip locating groove machined in a suitable position. I honestly have no idea what you've said to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I honestly have no idea what you've said to me! Excuse me, I thought you were up to speed with Supranurdish. Translated it say's; If your yellow Bilstein shock absorbers have an aluminium plate to locate the base of the spring, the ride height can be adjusted by machining a 2mm groove into the shock absorber at the desired height and relocating the base-plate support spring clip.

j_jza80 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I honestly have no idea what you've said to me! Have a look on DanDans build thread, he has height adjustable platforms on his Bilsteins (IIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Because they don't come with them, it's a modification. CW can do it for the Bilsteins he supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah, but the problem is it's either coil overs or our family holiday this year can't not take my son on holiday (well he doesn't care really,he's only one, can't not take myself on holiday ) Holidays are overrated. LOL one or two weeks away and its all forgotton. A supra is a way of life. so spend your money on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Stretched tyres + loads of negative camber = crap handling and awful tyre wear. What the Yanks do really has no meaning over here, our roads are VERY different to theirs. What the Yanks do has no meaning. Period. Just get wheels and tyres that work with the existing suspension kinematics. If the suspension won't go from full droop to full bump without the tyres touching you need to re-assess wheel and tyre sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
