SunGodRA Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Since having my spacers fitted I have noticed the gap between my rear wheel arch and wheel is a lot lower on the nearside than the offside - by almost an inch. I have looked at the springs and they don't appear damaged - they are both the same bore and both red colour coded. Is it possible for a spring to become 'weakened'? What else could be the cause of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeh sounds like it. I think I have a spare rear at home. Dan and I are doing some bits tomorrow so if you want to come over to Redhill you could swap it out? Untill you find a replacement pair.

Good to meet you Dave and glad we could have been of assistance! How was the drive back with the ECU reset? Heard you giving it a little test The car definitely felt as if it had a bit more 'poke' and the cornering was soooo much better after replacing that shock. I went back the way you said, got to the Shell garage but couldn't find the tracking place - so I will get it done locally soon. Thanks again matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 couldn't find the tracking place - so I will get it done locally soon. How about Abbey - they can't be far from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
