Hi Andy
Do you have any rear suspension movement now?
Regards John L
I checked the rear suspension movement this morning while underneath fitting a new starter motor. The movement is ZERO! When I undid the bolt at the bottom of the shocker and tried to raise it there was no movement at all. Not good! I have now raised the suspension to give 24mm downward movement but it this enough? How does one tell? I could make "tell-tales" to fit on the shocker lower tube and which would be pushed downwards under compression to reveal how far the 24mm is being used. Any better ideas? Having shockers designed for the lowered suspension is another, although expensive, way. What are the consequences of running on the bump stops apart from the strain on the shocker upper and lower mountings? Poor roadholding when the whole car is lifted by the bump stop on the outer side of the bend when cornering fast? My track day on Tuesday is the time to experiment with ride heights perhaps. I am having the geometry of the front and rear suspension checked professionally today. "Merit Tyres" in Leatherhead, Surrey, say they will do it free of charge. We shall see! Anyway, a big thank you to JL for asking the very good question. It had not occured to me to check!. Andy Owler
