Shock- lock ring - bottom spring seat/ring - spring - top spring cap - possibly a washer or top hat washer dependant on setup - top mount - top hat washer -nutThe above is using a spherical bearing top mount, If you're using the standard 306 top mount that will fit On after the top spring cap. It's very simple really. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Is there anyway of extending the strut length, going to be a bloody low car if the struts are only that long!  ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

You and me have different ideas of disassembled ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me! Custom-made polybushes available - need an odd size or fitment? - anything from batch work to one-off pieces. |

This is what I've done so far, seems to be roughly right however it's possible to move the spring and cap around underneath the topmount. This could be because they aren't tight enough?  ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Ok, thanks Mei.On the topic of helper springs, are they aimed at raising the ride height slightly? Not 100% sure on their use? ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Thanks! Then I can leave them as they are.Noticed that the spring is already completely compressed even before the whole weight of the car is pressing down on it. So I will do nothing at all when driving. ________________________________________ My car park:'96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered!
