what car you got? james -----Original Message----- From: Lachlan Hughes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 10:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help needed with spring selection and 240k strut question
List, Firstly, thanks to everyone (Terry, Andrew Greenbury and Iggy) for their input in relation to installing twin master cylinder and brake booster. I connected it all up on Sat and tested it Sat night and they work heaps better than the original 3/4" master cylinder with no booster or proportioning valve and twin sumitomos. Now I am trying to work out what springs I need to get. I no longer have adjustable platforms in the front, I have replaced them with standard 240k struts (with 270mm discs). BTW should the calliper be very close to the steering arm, ie is this usual or should the struts be swapped sides, they don't seem to rub at all. I have adjustable lower control arms and steering arms if this makes a difference.In relation to spring heights, the back is sitting at about 295mm-300mm from centre hub to guard lip and I am happy with this height. The front with standard 240k struts and springs is sitting at 365mm, and of course I want to lower the front so it is somewhere between 320mm and 330mm. Cam has said that he can get me King Springs cheaply from his website, but I need to know what specification or type of spring I ask for - any help is much appreciated. Obviously I need springs about 40mm lower than standard, is this all I need to know?? Thanks again list.
