Yey someone does read my ramblings Rolling with laughter I just went for take off parts from ebay so totally standard bits. Just had to run an errand and can honestly say even with just the front there's a lot less roll around corners. I think I'm putting new shocks and slightly lowered springs on this year too so im hoping for a good on road improvement overall.

Managed to get a couple of bits painted up so when the weather is a bit warmer and nicer I can get them fitted and it should look tidier Mr. Green

Sorry for the rubbish pic.

All the bits for a big job finally collected so should be going on in a couple of weeks Cool started with the crank pully starting to go but ended up deciding to do everything while the front was off so it's getting pully, new pully bolt, aux belt, crank seal, both idlers, tensioner, water pump, power steering pump, radiator, intercooler and the silicone hoses that have finally turned up correct after 6 weeks Big Cry also in the pics to do are the rear anti roll bar, new sills and the rest of the stainless bolt kit! So a busy time ahead but hopefully everything should be running great when it's finished : Mr. Green
I'm hoping britpart can't mess up a radiator as everything else is oem.

New springs have arrived Mr. Green -2.5 rear and -1.5 front by extreme. Another ebay bargain having only been used for around 100 miles before the chap sold his 110 so I got them at 1/4 of the original price Cool I just need some spare time and good weather to put all these bits on Big Cry

Not sure, what's the difference in wall hight? I think I'm going for the 18" sawtooths that lri solutions do next year when I've recovered from the expense of all these new bits Big Cry so I need to check out what tyre sizes are best for a bigger wheel.

255s have 33inch diameter so about an inch more than 265s
i would like to lower mine to make easier access for dogs and swmbo, but put 255s on to lift diffs a little. My 109 thread

I've got 235's on mine and it had 4 1/4 inch gap from tyre to arch at the front and 5 1/2 gap at the back and although I've not driven it to settle the springs yet it sits level at 3 1/2 inch gap all round now. My old springs had done 110000 miles though so we're more than likely sagging a fair bit anyway.

And all done, just need to test drive it now

A bit of adjustment on the garage door and it should fit in Mr. Green

Looking good Ray. What shocks are you using? My back end is up and down like a yo yo and I can't decide between oem oil or after market gas. 2002 110 td5

To be honest I'm not sure Embarassed my garage put them on all round a year or so ago as the old ones were shot. I was going to put some bilstein on when I was fitting the springs because they get good reviews but with these being so new and in perfect working order I decided against changing.

Will you be getting a front end alignment?
