  1. Thanks AK350Z

     

    Was so, sold the car in April mate. Had a few occasions when I could really have done with getting the here of us in the car and had to pick up the little one a bit more so had little choice really.

     

    Part ex for a BMW. Nowhere near as much fun but saving a bomb on running costs and can get everyone in comfortably.

     

    Shame I couldn't afford to run 2 cars

     

    Hope your keeping well.

  2. They were a complete bar steward to get in as well. :lol::lol::lol:

     

    They look great on your Z M8. :thumbs:

     

     

    I agree, had a right nightmare!! Lol

     

    thanks mate, I am pleased with them, they look B) on yours to.

  3. Hate to say it but not only did I copy your wheels, I also bought the Z caps and had them done swell!! Lol

     

    Looks like your caps came out similar to mine in a slightly lighter shade.

  4. Just of of intrest was the handbrake on or was it in gear when you stopped and took measurements? It is possible for the car to hold its own suspension from fully returning on the handbrake or against the diff - nice level piece of road and coast to a halt then re check.

     

    Just some thoughts with the usual disclaimer - I could be talking complete B****x

     

    Handbrake was on so will try measuring again in the way you have suggested to see if I get any different figures.

     

    The car has done 60k and I expect that springs have never been changed. I know you was joking but it did cross my mind that the majority of time the car will have the weight of the driver only on it. Over time could that affect the sag of the springs?

  5. Hi all,

     

    I am currently considering my options around lowering the car a little and decided to see what the current gap between wheel and arch was to get some idea of my options.

     

    On measuring everything, I have discovered that my car is a little lop sided with the passenger side sitting around 5mm higher than the driver side. I have made sure the car is level and taken several measurements but there is a clear difference.

     

    I assume this is not usual and have had a bit of a knock on the rear driver side when going over speed bumps since I bought the car.

     

    Is this likely to be just the springs sagging more on the driver side so would be resolved by changing the springs all around or am I looking at a bigger issue?
