Corner weighting has to be done on a machine, but to be honest, for road use you dont really need it, just match the number of turns each side front and rear. Also remember to check how the damping is adjusted, will be either bump or rebound. Makes alot of difference to damping setting

And if my car was on the road you know I'd more than happily pop over to give you a hand let's hope I pull my finger out and get it done proto I am for end of jan at the latest! So let's see what I can do

I now have 3 coilovers! there in pretty good condition and the rear ones are awesome! They literally go down about 200mm! not that theres that much room so i'm going to fit the rears ASAP, get the front one made up and shipper out and i'll soon be on the floor

scrappage ftw lol
no floor gap/ground clearance for you lol

should be fun, I'll have the strut brace on there, so we'll see how it goes, I don't come across speed bumps very often so I "should" be alright!

_________________

Key word there 'should' lol. I know whats going to happen Chris, you will slam it, either not be able to turn the wheel at all, or when you do it will rub on the arches. or you will get to a point which is good, and go round corners or down a road which sorta dips and it will scrape... ive had all of that

and he will love it lol

My si was low and it just scraped the exhaust now and again, no biggy!

Not got my strut brace yet I have however recieved my filler, sandpaper, primer!

Does anyone know how to use P40 metal filler? And is that stuff ok to just put on a wheel, then sand down and spray over?

_________________

the metal filler will be finger, im sure you will mix it like normal filler tbh so much harder to so much filler, When i have done wheels in past i just used normal car filler so would not worry mate

_________________

Finger?

I will just use it like it says and see what happens. Thought metal would be better than body but then it says to put body on top of it. Can't win lol

_________________

I would have used normal car filler personally. Just do it as it says and see what happens. If you can, try it on something scrap first so you can perfect it for when you do it on the wheels

_________________

What scrap stuff? I don't know what i'm doing really Just put it on the spreader and spead it over the areas needed, all around the rim mainly! lol and theres a deep scratch in one from when I scraped it with my subframes. I was just gonna put it on, spread it over the areas and make sure the excess is wiped off
