The response is a lot better, but Stage 2 will be a real springs from classicswede... Those are now a bit short and sound a clonk noise when transfer the weights. It's normal I guess, I never reach this level of ghettyness before !! :lol:

Greetz from Spain !!!!

Well it looks great, not sure how practical it is that low anyway. ;) At least you'll get an idea of how low you want to go when you do it properly :)

I have been waiting for a decent picture of 300 series front shocker inserts for ages, now I have seen one.

Almost identical to the inserts on Cavaliers, Calibras and Astra Mk3's (same design), with a few mods they would work a treat, available in adjustable etc.... and plenty kicking about S/H.

P.S very low 300, sweet!!

I was waiting to see them because I think the same as you. I'm sure that exist a lot of inserts you can put into and make them adjustables, etc etc...

I'll take notes for the stage 2 :lol:
