i lowered my corsa 60mm on steelies and had too adjust the brake bias so the back wheels wouldnt keep locking up. i have now just put my new alloys on and the ride hegiht has gone back up. Was just wondering which way you pull the nuts and tighten as i forgot. do you slide it towards the bumper or away from the bumper if you increased the height.

cheers

When there is no weight in the car (i.e. no shopping and nobody in it) the spring should have no tension in it.

Then when fatty gets in the spring gets tensioned

The height has gone up because of the bigger wheels but the suspension should still be in the same place. there is just more space between the wheel centre and the ground now but the springs wont be compressed any more or any less.

But to check it superlite is correct
