60mm drop B2 Sport

b2_sport · 13-12-09, 12:52 AM

I have fitted the 60mm Spax adjustables on my car today. On closer inspection looks like the ball joints are shot as ****, so going to replace them in the next few days then get my wheel alignment done.

The 60mm setup delivers a hard ride, excellent even ride height, i proper love it now. Cannot wait to get the wheel alignment done, I have neglected it for so long... that my front tyres have gone bald within 6 months!

Will wash the car tommorow morning and get some pics up. I am going to change my alloys for my winter wheels, so will get loads of pics for you perverts out there.

Lol, this thread is useless without pics

I did the rear shocks and springs which are a doddle, ran out of time so left front till later. Above is the in between pic.

Took the car down to a friends garage to do the front suspension legs. As some of you know this is bit of a ball ache.

On closer inspection we realised the ball joints are knackered, so on a saturday evening around 4pm we are phoning around for parts! We thought we had sourced them, sent my brother to the local motor spares shop; only to find out they will have them on monday! Need to do this soon...

Changed the track rod ends for some news ones, the old ones were mash up.

I hate it when you get part way thru a job and find stuff missing or problems, should be good once done and the parts your changing will help come mot time

I got a MOT on it three months ago, flyed through with passing colours.
