Yeah I'll give it a go. I didn't lower the bottom bolt (that attaches to the trailing arm), should I have done that?

Managed to get some proper 35mm springs on the back, sits and drives perfectly fine now. Only thing I need to know is if I still need to adjust the rear brake compensator valve at -40mm?

Man I need me one of those.

Nahh the peanut butter method is probably the best way, or any product that contains the oils which moisturise the plastics. Using a heatgun works for a bit, but then fades the plastics further (that's how they get like that in the first place).

Loom should already be there, but the stalk will need to be sourced from somewhere else. I believe N16 Almeras use the same lights and stalks as the second facelift K11, so have a look there. You might find it easier to just wire it to a switch on your dashboard and stick a relay in.

I'm working. Sorry... "Working".

What are you doing up at this ungodly hour sir?

Couldn't you use one of those eBay power window kits?

Cheap... Hentai...?

Do I need to adjust the lower bolt so it sits at the bottom as well, or is that only if I'm adjusting it properly?

Yeah I did disconnect the panhard. We didn't remove the brake drums though, we'll do that on Wednesday.

Ahh makes sense, so adjust the stands so they simulate tyre to hub distance so I can still get to the spring thing. Magpie your genius knows no bounds.

You're supposed to do it whilst the car's on the ground right? How are we supposed to do that if we can't get under the car?

I can't even see anything. It's such a fiddly task and it's worse when you're doing it blind

I did some more digging and managed to find Paul's guide, but some of the image links are broken. I think I know what to do anyway. I'm about to go outside with the cable ties, wish me luck.

You don't happen to have a stock rear spring do you?

For now it is. With the rear being so low, I have concerns about the shocks and the rear bias compensator as it is. Doing the front will mean I need uprated shock on the front as well, which is money I don't have :(

Problem is, I only need the rears (the front ones Magpie sold me are perfectly fine), and I can only find a complete set.

I think we'll have to try it again. I'm looking for either some rear 35/40mm springs (not cut lol), or a single stock spring so I can revert and approach it later.
