How do you raise the back end with the phil j kit? Its sitting ass end down and looking stupid, they've been on for a good few months now but its time i actualy sorted it out!

does the kit need to come off the car?

btw its just shocks and springs kit

yep, all the PhilJ kits i have seen have a number of different grooves for the circlip to go in which sets the height of the spring platform, move the circlip and spring platform up for up, and down for down. removing the rear struts consists undoing the top nut with the car on the floor, and the bottom through bolt once its jacked up.

Thanks for the reply, managed it yesterday was quite easy to take off only...i found that both rear shocks had differant notch marks on, one had 4 the other had 5 no wounder they never sat level. Its still not right now but better than it was. So I'm guessing that i've been sent two differant types of lowering kit.

:mad:

shocks are all identical. it just depends were they shoved the clip on. need to check and possibly raise mine a notch in the back so i can carry passengers without scrubbing constantly its only the passengers wheel thats catching ddo so mine could be a notch out on one side.
