I recently had a second pair of front springs from Dai for my car which are the same rating only slightly shorter to lower the front a bit more. I wanted to do this as currently the front sat higher than the back. Anyway decided today i would try and fit them so off i went stripping things down, only to find the springs are to big for the cups so that pissed me off in the start!! So i decided to cut my old springs down, which i did and that all went fine, yeh not to soft etc, dropped the car exactly to the height i wanted. Next i did the usual after mucking about with the suspension, checked tracking, spot on. So took the car out to let the springs etc bed in then when i get back tweek the tracking a bit.
When out i noticed the car was pulling slightly to the left under breaking and getting slightly out of shape. I put this down to tracking to start with, so back to the garage tweek tracking. pack up job done go home.
Started to drive home, coming down to a roundabout started to break very heavy breaking on pass front corner pulling heavily to the left. totally out of shape.
So turn round back to garage. Stripped and rebuilt the brakes, found nothing!! Then i remebered i altered the tracking on the drivers side tie rod, compared to normally doing it on the pass side. So altered all that back. did tracking again. slightly better but still pulling to the left!!!
Any ideas guys as i got that pissed off with the car i really dont feel like i give a shit about it tonight which just isnt me!!
So anyway i limped it home very carefully and the car didnt help matters when i went to switch on mainbeam and the headlights went off totally!!! Turned main beam off and the headlights came back!! Dim dip relay anyone think??
So guys please help me try and work this out, as i really just dont have the heart for it at the moment!!
