Martas, how is the wheels alignment after installing the spacers? I understood from some opinions that the wheels angle cannot be adjusted accordingly and therefore, after installing spacers, the wheels not fall perfectly straight

Wheels never fall down perfectly straight when car in the air. I still don't have time to go for a geometry check, but I will go soon. Stance looks straight as before. Geometry was one of the reason why I got only 20 / 25 mm spacers. Rear has adjusting bolts.. |

Hi Martas, I'm from Italy and following your way, applied 1" spacers in front (between coil spring and its seat) and the car stands up well, not charging the front too much as before. I was thinking to replace the spacers with proper +30 mm coil springs front and rear.

Great Martin!!! As weather will turn back to moderate warm, today we have over 35°..., I will attemp this job! The coil springs I'am talking about, are not 'home made ones': I've found them on off road tuning magazines... and they claim no special shocks are required as they stand in the standard suspension working travel. I'll revert to you when job is made, in the meanwhile: many thanks! |

Havn't raised the car yet and so far no rubbing at all, will however try the tires out off road this weekend to see if they rub in some more extreme situations

Looks very good. Looking forward to the rubbing test while offroading. Did you maybe do a measurement like in the picture below? Is so, what is the height front and rear?
