I have been looking around for advice on setting up and tuning the suspension and come across this site http://auskellian.com/paul/links_fil...hancements.htm which offers easy to understand information along with good reference pictures. There's also a drawing for the rear leaf spring lowering block for anybody wanting to make their own along with links to other sites that offer after market none standard suspension parts.

Recently made a selection of spacer rings 16mm/10mm/5mm thick which i am going to trial fit between the front suspension spring top cup and the chassis suspension arm, the reason is to try and lift the body slightly up to give more wheel clearance as the drivers side sits down slightly plus Ive read the spitfire suspension setup is better if the front is slightly higher than the rear, the different thicknesses is to find the one that works. Another area i need to check is the front ARB to make sure it's not twisted and causing the drivers side to sit lower, i have read that it's very unlikely that you find a ARB that is not slightly twisted and a solution is to fit adjustable ARB drop links to compensate, check this site out for what i mean http://www.wolfitt.com/wolfitt_produ...d%20conversion they look very easy to make, be sure the rod end bearings are adequate enough.


Well that's it for now see you soon and i will post pictures of the front suspension mods when complete.
