Wowsers they look like seriously beefy upper arms!!!! Coilers look sweet too, when is the maiden voyage? Will be interesting to hear your opinions on the L200 with coilovers.

been paying today just need fine tunning as they run between the chassis and the bottom arm they effect what the torsion bars do as well as the ride height and the camber just trying to get my head around it TBH you let the coil off a bit and it can make the truck higher with the current torsion bar setting making the camber angle dip into negative and the cv angles worse. but hey its different

#1344 by 123hotchef , Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:42 pm

#1345 by L200spanky , Sun Jan 07, 2018 11:04 pm

Truck passed the MOT yesterday so another year of insurance was purchased today!

Had to replace the top rose joint they broke already!
so 555 ball joints in there place
12mm worth of shims to get the camber when I wanted it 1 deg on the negative yeh I know it should be 0 or 0.5+ but I want to try the boy racer look.
new led head lamp bulbs fitted the other one had a flicker
new adjuster switch to try and cure the headlight that dont want to stay still on the lowest 2 settings, didnt fix the problem new motor to try next
re did the tracking as the new arms and negative camber put it out
