Torsion bars.

[CHASTER]

I've gone up in the world a bit. About 30mm actually.
Adjusted the front suspension torsion bars.
Still a bit to go to be exactly same as rear wheel to arch clearance. Might tweak it a bit more---thinking about that :?: : Should these clearances be the same ?---any advice welcome.
The stance looks much better and the handling has improved, especially in the cornering department. Braking seems slightly better too; don't understand that---unless the back brake control device now works better with the front up a touch. Perhaps I just imagine it.
Must remember to check headlight beams, they were OK before but might be too high now . MOT due next week :roll:

the rear should be higher, as in clearances. on my mav theres a difference of about 2/3 inches in arche clearance and i think thats pretty normal. the car was designed for towing in mind hence why the rear springs are so firm. so if you drop some weight in the rear, the fronts going to be higher, which might effect your handling in a negative way, plus your headlight will probably be too high. best thing to do is look under the front of the car. i think the wishbones are suppost to be level, if they angle up or down then they will need adjusting accordingly.

Thanks guys.
I had misplaced my CD so the info was helpful.
Better half has since found CD amongst family photos CDs :|
I have now taken it into custody!
By luck I had got the adjustment right to within a gnats whisker
You just gotta win sometimes. :smile:
