Anyone know the shore rating of the superpro kit?

Re: Project : Its not a project MK1b

Thanks for the heads up will check it again asap, there probably is something needs changing, plenty on the front did!

Yeah I think He struggled getting that one into tolerance using the snail cams, does that mean something else is causing an issue there then?!

Re: Project : Its not a project MK1b

Rear springs fitted yesterday along with new drop links and ARB bushes. Happy with the subtle drop and the handling feels a lot sharper now and ride quality is brilliant with these PI springs.
