would be crazy :D

As i cant find any wheels i like atm, and those 440s got stolen from theos i thought id move my thoughts on to the suspension

I've heard people talk about landrover shocks. These are going to be firmer but has anyone had expierence on them? is anything from the escort club?

And i was think of dropping the front 25mm with higher poundage, but i dont know the current poundage? then gas inserts

thoughts? advice? this should hopefully make it sit better then i may find some spacers for the wheels

It's a swine mate.
Door card off, remove the big window from regulator and push it as far down as possible.
Drill out the rivet at the top of the window channel and remove the nuts which secure it at the bottom.
Push the window channel towards the front of the car, giving a bit more room for the quarterlight to move.

I've only removed them, I imagine refitting is even harder, the seal goes really far into the door and is a big pain. Best of luck.

No problem, just unbolt it and wiggle it out of the channels, it should drop down to the level of the door instead of 3 inches above it.

haha, im not sure its a club I wish I had to join :P

Had a little idea, would a 340 exhaust fit straight onto a 360?

As it only goes throught the silencer once, (not like the 360 one) it could be an easy change to get more noise lol BUT is it the same bore?
