...this will make you laugh..on the front to lower it i moved the adjusters UP thinking that by compressing the spring it would lower it NOPE you have to go down to lower completely foxed me

lol i asked this a while back thinking that you compress the spring to make it lower

you dont, you simply move the platform the spring sits on.

and yes, to lower it 3cm will require you move the spring platform down 3cm

...... and the corner weighting too Marco.

Some people and spanners shouldn't mix Of course you could have lowered it by fitting smaller springs if the dampers still sat at the top.

just incase you dont know etc. make sure the spring is compressed. its not allowed to have any play (ie the spring platform so low you can move the spring up n down, needs to touch both ends) or itll fail n MOT (with a competent mot tester)
