remember it needs alignment after, as you will shag the camber

should be able to replicate the camber original settings via the socket between shock and rim method, and set toe via line of sight with the rear wheel doing one side at a time, to save tyres on the drive to wim.

iirc Tunsters car has been well wim'd so worth measuring up first...imo. :)

They dont do the ultra soft pramulator shocks he's after I suspect.


Now me, I think we need a little chat when I see you tomorrow.  Of my 200 odd gee-gees, I reckon I lose 150 of them lifting the front and sinking the arse away from the lights....

You know, I've often wondered how much quicker from 0-60 the Omega would be if the rear diff didn't have to dig a 2 inch trench in the tarmac.  ;D

Not really interested in bilstein shocks, spend 95% of my time on motorways, so comfort is key :)

First time I've been almost caught out there (the TC did a reasonable job on mine, don't think Mrs chrisgixer's TC was quite so accomodating).  Had a few big moments by the Esso roundabout, probably because every idiot in a diesel likes to overfill, then slosh it all over the roundabout there...

H was going particularly steady, even for her. Back still came round, and eventually I had to correct  it from the passenger seat, or we would have gone all the way round the roundabout for another go.  ;D  .......she saw the funny side......later that evening. :o :-X

Seeing as Apple really don't like Adobe any more, I suspect it won't be long before Macs can't do pdfs either ;D

Hello, sorry to hijack (another) topic, but where do you get access to a TC price book? I've got my TC on way from ABS (hopefully), and when I asked at the dealers they said only 10%. I'd still be happy with this but I thought it was more? Thanks

Once you have your card .. contact ABS and they will give you a login and password for the TC web site

http://www.tradeclub.co.uk

You can check TC prices there.

Those folks who have a VX TC also get the "book" in printed version and a CD with a PDF of the "book"

Means you can check without being online and logging in every time.

HTH
