Shortened my droplinks and fitted the spacers on the front today - heres the results:

Its not too noticeable in the pics tbh, but gives the car a nicer stance and makes it look better (although the original reason for getting them is becuase the tyres are fouling the strut :lol: )

How big of a spacer are you running?

Just picked it up - passed with a few advisories  :y

Theyre mostly brake related as it hasnt moved since january lol might get the discs skimmes to tidy them up, and theres some corrosion starting on rear brake pipes, and slight play in a front wheel bearing, all in all its not too bad :D

By 20mm do you mean 20mm/side or is that 10mm/side for total of 20?

How did the MOT go? I bought the Beastie from a certain someone in Scotland, well worth the trip & the stovies for lunch. Slightly lowered on the back with Irmscher red springs, low enough for me.
    WASH, POLISH it & post more pics! :y

Went ok really... mostly brake items for the advisories - front discs need cleaned up, front brakes are slightly unbalanced atm too, little play in o/s/f wheel bearing, rear brake pipes showing a little corrosion... cant expect any better from not moving for 9 months tbh lol

Going to pull brakes apart tomorrow and flatten the pads, tidy up the discs and free off the rears as theyre still binding - ive also got new handbrake shoes that i might chuck on whilst im at it

Feels good to be driving it again  8-) just waiting on the last of the oil burnin off the exhaust and it should be alot quieter once those brakes are sorted lol
