Today Jason (EA2BA) and his friend Steve came over and we fitted King springs lows with monroe shocks. I'd had enough of the old suspension, and the new stuff is great! It handles well, and the bouncy ride is now gone. The springs still need to settle a bit, so the front will sit lower than it does in the photos. I'm happy with lows, I'm glad I didn't get superlows because I wouldn't get out of my driveway (with lows, my towbar was a cm off scraping at the slowest possible speed). To get the old springs out, we dropped the diff, but still found with maximum wheel travel, we still couldn't get the old ones out! They were that long we had to use spring compressors to do it! Anyway, here are a couple of photos. I'll take better photos after the springs have settled, and I've washed the car
old vs. new
