Just had a look on their website and found all of the owners handbook stuff. As you said, they say there are 28 click stages on all of their adjustable shocks. I'll have another poke around under the bonnet later and see if I can get them sorted

These are what the tops of my struts look like:

Had another look. Definitely not right, the knobs are just spinning without clicking at all. Think I need to get in touch with the seller and ask for a refund as they won't adjust.

Passed the MOT. That's 3 years in a row now

Not bad for a 16 year old car

Gave the car a clean Girlfriend's SLR is on charge so I'll get some better pics tomorrow.








Photo's definitely make it look higher than it is.

Nice and clean

Has the suspension settled ok?

Sounds like you're noticing the same as me when I ran the springs on fixed shocks - pictures make it look high.

The top picture of these 3 show it is definitely lower though.

Cheers.

Yeah it's settled fine, just seems to look high in the photos. Think's it's because the tyres actually go higher into the arches but the shade makes it just look like a big gap.

Shame I didn't get to see your Vectra when you dropped the springs round, but thanks for delivering them

Bonnet is awful and the general condition of the paintwork is a bit scratched up.

It's ok for every day use but at a car show it really gets shown up compared to some of the pristine cars there...don't think it helped being parked next to Generation's 5 door

Cheers mate.

I seem to get quite a few compliments about the interior

Toying with the idea of getting a colour coded boot lock surround again. Not sure, thoughts?

Just a small update. Got a white SMD bulb to replace the blue interior one.

Also got a Gaz adjustable suspension setup on the way

Only just seen your post Darryl. Nope not new, but in good condition. The fronts are adjustable dampening shocks and the rears are coilovers. Will probably keep my adjustable Spax rear shocks and sell the Gaz ones though.

Fair enough, I'd keep it all and sell the spax if it were me

Can't be arsed with changing the rears again to be honest lol. The Spax are fine and I can't be bothered with the hassle of adjusting the height with the rear coilies Will get more of my money back for them than the Spax as well.
