I didn't, but that is the only reason I could think as to why the ride height was so low.....
FYI, the Ahmed springs are NOT standard height (and I would never have told you this
), they lower a 3dr by 10mm
.
I think you went for the 10" fast road rear springs? These are the same as for any Sierra Cosworth (it is only the fronts which are unique to the 3dr), which should have given you a similar ride height to the ones in this thread, so something defo looks amiss:

I'm sure if you fit an ARB that'll cure the issue. If you compare your rear to the other car you have and swap each component - springs, shocks, etc the only factor will be the ARB.
Surprised you didn't mention that you have no ARB at the start of this thread![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

my next question is would the arb stop the car squatting as much on the road as when I had the avo and ahmed springs the tyres were rubbing away at the body kit when id hit a dip in the road etc so will the arb help this?

When you say the "same" do you mean "similar" or EXACTLY the same?

The shoulders on the Toyos may be a lot squarer than other makes or the width may be wider than stated. For example, the 235/40x17 R888 is actually 245mm wide.....

Only if the ground is uneven or you are driving up it at an unusual angle, otherwise the suspension should compress equally?

I havent driven the car with the custom springs so cant determine if there going to catch yet but the reason i cant deterime this is cus i cant get the car out the drive

Any Whiteline distributor in Oz
. Do a search on Google, or if you are that much of a drongo
, then I can supply them, but seems a bit silly them being shipped all the way from Oz to a UK distributor, only to be shipped all the way back
. I can even give you the ref you need for the correct length
. Could it be any more simple?

I have an escos arb here mate if you want it - no brackets for it though but I am sure we could work something out with other brackets. Paul has my 3 dr arb i think if you hassle him.
