Phil, I tried to measure the capacity of the old rear springs.

Dave did you adjust the height of the coil overs when you put them on, or did you leave them as the manufacturer had sent them out in?
......
interesting you mention about the rear being bouncy. I have front and rear ARB's on mine as well, but the back does feel twitchy, and can now almost lift off into oversteer or the back feels like it wants to snap out after heavy breaking?
does yours feel like this at all?
Hi Dave,
I had been thinking that my rears still felt a little bouncy, but after finding that setting my fronts to about 70% improved things I've now done the same to the rears. First impressions are positive but I'll give it another run tomorrow on some more difficult roads - if not I'll have to get under the car again soon. I've got a track day in a couple of weeks and want to get it spot on before that.
Anyway I'll keep you posted....
Are they Kw v3's you have fitted? I just fitted a set of v3's the other day and the back is very bouncy also.
I haven't had a chance to adjust the rebound on the rear yet but I adjusted the compression (softer) and it has improved things slightly.
Neil.
I adjusted the rears on my V2s to 135 degrees off the hardest setting and it has improved things. Getting used to it now.![]()
That's normal. If the top nut is tightened correctly and it's a new top mount, the top mount is being pulled up hard against the underside of the mounting. - You will see a gap.
Yeah they are new top mounts
A gap big enough to get your finger through?
The only reason i ask is cos i have a clunk noise which thought could be that
as with the gap the strut would be able to twist and lean meaning the clamb would bang against the turret![]()
No, there shouldn't be a gap that big.
