I want to raise my spindles, but how much ? Rich was saying 12 - 15 mm. (tho he has never done /4 struts).
Can I adjust the t. bars to RAISE the front if 15 mm turns out to be too low ? |

QUOTE(Korijo @ Jan 5 2004, 10:15 AM) I just want to have the steering geometry to be consistant with my different bolt patterns AND wheel sizes. I have 16 x 7's which are 4 x 100, and 15 x 7's are 4 x 130... What else can I do ? Dont REALLY want 5 lug :unsure: if you raise the spindles on the strut, you will have to also bend the steering arms/knuckles on the strut to compensate for bumpsteer if you don't things will be just as bad as just lowering it by the t-bar settings... not a project for the average DIY-er if you ask me get the steering rack spacers and forget about it... cheers, Jeroen |
