    Before I get home and get the suspension on, what size of spacers would be best on it? I’m thinking 15 Mm all round without getting to the illegal stage

    If you are talking about greasing the adjustment threads be careful as this will only attract road grime and dust which leads to problems later on ,you can get gaiters to protect said items but regular cleaning will do away with any adjustment problems.

    Can feel every pebble on my scrotum, not a good thing at my age!!
    Reckon 35 Mmmm all round should be a better height, and might even get the spacers on with the wheels out of the arches, tho figment was actually good, wheels went on with out any issues
