Sorry for the delay! Right now, the rear is about 1/2 inch lower than it was with the factory setup but I may go another 1/2 inch once I let the units settle in a bit. random pictures, no particular order: -

Rear shock spring replacement / upgrade

Yeah - I give the spring all the respect they deserve. Just trying to get a feel for if it needs to be oriented any particular way and what I should tighten the bolts to when I reinstall. -

OK, I've been very lazy and been putting this off for ages. I've finally got the car apart and am ready to pull the old damper unit. A couple quick questions... What are the torque specs for the upper and lower bolts? I am going to be reusing my old springs as they were replaced by the PO. Is there any trick or gotchas or anything else to beware of when transferring the spring? -

Hang on - did I miss something? Is there a thread going on for this swap someplace?

Stunning work, as usual. Make sure and get some video or it once it's running

There some great roads to drive in the Raleigh area if you care to take a small detour

Not been around so stopped in to say hello
talon replied to GordonMasson's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
Gordon, my sister has had a life long battle with epilepsy and seizures, so I know it it not the kind of thing to take lightly. You'll be back on the road before you know it though. Count me in for FF1 again this year! -
LOL - I was thinking it should be pink as well!
-
I'd like to know as well. I've been out for drives with other V8's and their fans kept running after shutoff, while mine shuts off with the car.
