    Need help from suspension gurus.
    Eibach pro street s kit with Turner street plates.
    I have set the suspension to max height and I only get 335mm hub center to fender.
    The plates seem to be 4mm less thick than the OE ones so the low ride height doesn't seem to come from there.
    If 335mm ok for the front ? I'd have preferred 345mm.

      13.5"/13" is the optimum ride height and you are close.... what is it coming out to be at the back?

        I set up the laser wrong, stupid me
        I measured again.
        345mm front = 13.5"
        340mm rear = 13.4"

        This is with everything set to max height.
        I'll lower to rear to 13" and it'll be perfect !

        Thanks for your feedback. 13.5" / 13" was indeed what I was planning for

            Rear will do for now. It'll get corner balanced either way when the suspension will have settled

                  Thanks man !
                  A bit too low imo but that'll have to do for now as the suspension is set to max height.




                  Just did the alignement.

                  Tomorrow I have an appointment to change the windscreen as I f'ing broke it changing my wiper blades. What a shame.



                  Then state inspection and the car will be 100% again finally.

                      I'll sort the crossfeed thing later when I'll have found mine or bought another one.

                      I love this all stone building garage, can you post a picture of the workspace? I’m fascinated by how different people in other parts of the world work on cars vs the typical American wood and drywall garage. My car has been down for almost 2yr now for what sounds like very similar reasons. Hoping it won’t take another 7 to get back on the road. But I get it!

                        You probably need a taller spring to get to 345mm. 335mm or 13.18" is low for the front.

                          Old house but the ceiling height in the garage is awesome !!
                          I can work under the car standing up.

                            Indeed. Quite low.
                            I'll look into longer springs but not now. I need to close the project for now and drive the car a bit.



                            Just replaced the gearbox oil.
                            I'm only missing the coolant and all the fluids will have been replaced. I didn't have the courage for that tonight as it is quite messy to do.

                              Sadly, because of my mistake, time for a new windshield.
                              The body is free of any corrosion, quite happy to see that.

                                Love it! I imagine the whole property must be great.
