BILSTEIN PSS10 on CSL Super Sunday

[mattCSLnut]

Basically from the top down:

Self locking nut, flat washer, rear top mount, upside down V shape washer, shock absorber.

The upside down V shape washer is taken off the factory shocks (rubber damper removed).

It sandwiches the rear top mount together to stop the rubber from pulling out of the housing.

Hi Tom... my order from top down is:
Self locking nut, V shape washer in the O.E. position, O.E. rear top mount, Bilstein supplied flat washer, shock absorber.

I presume this arrangement is OK too :thumbs:

[mattCSLnut]

when you've fitted the ground control mounts get a kds/hunter wheel alignment done mate.
my right side shows 2 degrees and my left shows just over 1. the markings on them don't mean sh1t.

Now you tell me :hahaha: I'll have full alignment done once the front Billys are On and see how accurate my G.C. top mounts are :banghead:
Thanks for the heads up Daz :thumbs:

my rear struts are fitted with no washers, oem or other, the strut is alloy at the top, two nuts hold it in place at the top and 1 at the bottom.
what you see is what was fitted??

Stop worrying Steve - you knew the risk when you bought AST :bigcry: :hahaha:

:birdman:

its only a ten minute job to whip them off if I need to add or change anything....
I cant see anything different apart from the 2 x paper washer pieces that didn't go back on ??

BILSTEIN PSS10 on CSL Super Sunday... Part 2

Another great CSL Sunday tinkering with my precious :smt055 and at last I have the full Bilstein PSS10 suspension set up On :thumbs: with Ground Control adjustable front top mounts to boot :thumbs: No problems at all removing the old shocks, despite reading some horror stories about seized shock clamps, etc. I've tried to keep to the O.E.M. Geo of the old shocks as close as possible and my first mini test drive out on the South Cambs. RING proved very entertaining :whistle: suffice to say, she'll be getting her full Geo checked and adjusted professionally A.S.A.P. during this coming week :thumbs:
Some obligatory pix below :whistle:

Cheers Robster :thumbs: What do you reckon to the ride height ? Too low ? too high ? ... or Spot On ? :smt017
Front ride height adjuster is at its mid point... rear is at it's lowest setting as mid point on the rear made the car look like a dragster :banghead:

Sweet :smokin: I guess I'll leave mine as it is for the time being, let the new springs settle down and re check after a few 100 miles or so :beer:
Should be about right for Easter Green Hell weekend :whistle:

It does look good, I like the red brakes behind the rims too.

Get it set up to get the best out of it though.
