Lower Mk Indy...

[fullpint]

After our day at Trackdevelopments I paid a visit to Protech today.
As some of you may know my ride height was a tad out!! Like higher at the front to that of the rear.
Turns out my springs were 9" with a rating of 350lb!!
So I purchased a pair of 8" springs rated at 200lb.. Protech were really nice and even took the old ones off and fitted the new ones.
Just fitted them to my Mk and,.,.,.,.,.,.
Next stop is a visit to Camber Dave to get the car set-up to suit these.
Its very low at the mo.. In fact sooooooooo low I may not get out that bump by my workshop 
Looks so much better though with the front end sitting lower than the rear. Itching to take her out for a blast..
Here's a pic with my backy tin which is 100mm long.. Got to watch my sump now..
Will get better pics at the weekend if I get a chance..

Nice one Steve.
On my westy there is a lopped bar that goes around near the gearbox which always takes a battering. It's 65mm from the floor. My engine sump is 75mm from the floor & my seats are lowered so the bolts are 65mm when I'm sat in it. So when I hear the looped bar scrap the ground I know my bum is going to feel it. 
You might find you will have the same problem once Dave has set yours up. 

Ps hope you are ok with measurements in mm instead of Backy tin measuremants?

  . I like inches mate.. After all tyres are measured in inches on the diameter
65mm (approx 2.5") is about what I have..

I've just chopped my sump, it's now 1.4 baccy tins deep. A gnats knacker from the gearbox level. Still might put a a nudge plate in front though.

Your car will handle so much better once you get it set up
