Ok so i have done a 120y strut conversion and it is all sweeet apart form the camber and ride height,
Open in new window

how much do i need to cut the spring or strut to return it to standard ride height. I am also lowering the rear by 2 inches so this will need to be taken into account when resetting the struts/springs. What can you suggest cutting the springs or chopping the struts? Also where is the best place to get new ball joints, draglink and tie rod bushes, i really need a new draglink as the ballgoints are worn and not replacable in Adelaide
thanx in advance
cheers

Don't forget to compress the spring before removing the top nut. Pow!
