    Control arms

    Shouldn’t make a difference with wheel size unless I’m missing something ? Your adjusting the hub face so it shouldn’t matter how big or small the wheel is the face stays the same ??

    Control arms

    Hi I’m about to change my suspension to H&M 25mm shorter springs and bilstein b8 shocks… My question is are adjustable control arms necessary for this setup ? If so is just 1 set enough ? thanks Ade

    Just messaged you on FB tuffty as I can't upload images or videos on here as the files are too large, rocker cover off and no obvious signs so head off I'm guessing. Still haven't measured down to pistons though as I can't get to the crank bolt until I get the car up on the ramp

    Top end tapping

    Top end tapping

    Top end tapping

    Gave the car a little squeeze earlier, maybe 3500/4000revs, pressed the clutch down quite suddenly and the exhaust made a pop which it's only ever done a handful of times. Not sure of this is relevant or by not. Followed by a constant tapping from I believe top end... Tapping is consistent...
