VB&P Composite Spring
Evening all.
Had a nice day working on the car - got the new 17" TTII's on there - looks damn hot now! Quick question for you in the know...
'cos I forgot... With the VB&P composite spring installed, to lower the ride height you require longer bolts? Right/Rong? I can't remember and I have a bit of an SUV thing going on over the rear wheels!!
The front is absolutely marvelous! They don't rub and I'm thinking that's down to the fact that I used 255/55R17's on the back and 245/45R17's on the front. Now all I have to do is find my drip source... it's not the tranny as it used to be - I'm thinking from a quick exam just minutes ago it's a leak from the power steering... and I have the parts to rebuild that.. another day...
So... Spring lower = Longer bolts?

Personnally, I would use grade 8 bolts for that. Lot's of strain there.

On another note you recall that 'project' I mentioned to you the other week? The one Holly and I were developing? We found an exec. producer who's open to discuss it... and a friend of ours working for BBC America has given us some good inside info....
