Urgent Help Needed - Too Low!!

I collected the Hawk lastnight, looks damn good sitting so low but for 3.5 hours on the journey back I was anxious about getting her on the drive. Looks like my anxiety was deserved.

Managed to get it on eventually but had to come in over the neighbours drive almost sideways!


I believe it has adjustable Eibach Prostreet coilovers. The seller is going to post me the c-spanners but is on holiday for 2 weeks. I seriously cannot wait that long.

Can any kind NESF members help me out on this and has the means to adjust them for me, quickly, like.... today!? I don't mind going back to standard height, whatever that is, I just need a more practical car!

Front, with iphone 4S for scale


Rear, with iphone 4S for scale

Mate if you send Andy Bish a PM he might be able to do it today for you bud - He is just over in Billingham

Thanks mate, appreciate it. I've just PMed him

In the meantime, any suggestions on what a real-world practical height would be? Or will Andy just know himself what would be best?

If you start playing about with the height mate then you'll need to get alignment done too, might be easier to remove the front splitter for now? I've got some spanners and can adjust height if needed tho pal

To be honest bud its just had new wheels on yesterday and have 2 rear tyres waiting to go on, so alignment probably needs doing anyway now. Glad you mentioned though.

Really appreciate your offer, I'll give Andy Bish a while to respond given hes closer but might ask you mate if thats OK Only because I know Billingham, not sure what obstacles await my splitter on Spenny! lol

Splitter is well knackered anyway, might take it off when its getting height adjusted!

I've sent Andy's misssus a text message as well bud as Andy's phone is out of action - but obviously it's father's day so he might be having a lie in!   

You're a gent pal, thank you!

Haha have you seen how low my blob is only on my 5th splitter lol!
No worries pal, Can use works workshop if required at Wynyard if nurse bish can't.

We already have a Dr in the house with Andy kindon so thought nurse bish would be fitting......sorry Andy bish lol

  

Just spoken with Andy, poor bugger is trying to find some spanners from someone.

Mike/Andy - not sure whats the least trouble for either of you in terms of who can do it for me? Sorry to be a pain in the arse

Haha it's not a bother mate, I won't be free till till about 5 or 6 ish today tho......need to do Father's Day duties lol!

My spanners are for BC's and HSD's but one of them should fit or If they have round holes I have c-spanners to fit too

See what the good nurse comes back with

Andy has just PMed me, no spanners, he can do it for me if I can lend some from someone on here.

Mike, would you mind doing it for me about 5 or 6pm then to save messing about Andy?

You should see it!! It's like Frankensteins monster, must have been repaired a hundred times already. Bloody thing is coming off and will replace with new once Mike sorts me out   

That's not that low really, you must have a decent in/decline onto your drive?

I suggest moving house   

Good to see plenty people offering to help you though   

I wouldn't have said its terribly steep, but perhaps so.

Really appreciate all the help on offer, some great lads here on NESF   

I've put this in the thanks section but wanted to make sure you guys seen it...

Firstly a thanks to Andy and Mario for trying to help me out this morning with these damn low coil overs  

As massive thanks to Mike who wasted nearly 3 hours of his time correcting it for me, thanks so much mate and will certainly owe you a few beers when I see you again!! Car went perfectly on the drive with no drama, a perfect compromise  I am however scoring you minus 1 point for having Julie wish I waited for a blobeye!
