My car has been standing on a level drive for 3 months, wheeled it about yesterday and its seems a little low so i checked out the rubber cones, it dont know if its me but i have a feeling its not suppose to be compressed this much? (its on a level drive)



No idea how old they are I havnt touched them since I got the car.

Do they look dead or is this acceptable?

Well it does look pretty flat.

But probably still useable, as long as the other side is the same. I guess it'll be a bit stiffer than a new one.

Hmm yeah I was compareing it to the other side (front) and it did look flatter to me, heres a pic of the passenger side front:



The rear end looked lower to me aswell, after i had wheeled the car around a bit i looked at the rear arch and the actual arch was resting on the tire on both sides! It wasnt like this when i left it so i thought all the cones had knackered since i left it last?!

Was also wondering - whats the ratio for lowering Hilos, is it 1:3mm on the front 1:5mm on the back?

mm? ratios do not have a dimension.

but yes 1mm off will lower around 3mm at the front and 5mm at the back...... ish.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
