Comedy Suspension Cured
Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2006 11:22 am
Just a couple of photos to proove that the comedy suspension has been cured
Before (US Baja Specification)
After (-60mm later)
After hearing of problems encountered by some getting the ride height right, I found taking a photo before and then photoshopping it to the desired ride height was useful to esitmate the desired visual drop.
An Angle measuring device was essential for getting the desired change in spring plate angle. The 8-9mm rule of thumb seems spot on.
I changed the rear spring plate bushes with Weltmeister bushes which was a bit of a faff . But the assembly required ample grease, and required the bushing housing to be pressed on slowely using four long bolts.
Only recommendation is measure measure measure, use the porsche recommendations for calculating ride height. when measuring ensure you are on a flat surface, tyres are inflated to the correct pressures.
The car drives and handles alot better now. Just need to change the front shocks
PS- My Icon picture is the photoshopped image that I worked to.
