Shouldn't be too hard by the looks of it, could probably do it with the wheels on?

I'm really interested in these shocks for my future BA GT track car project, keen to hear from anyone who has done a few anger laps with them.

No track work peps.....but have put a few spirited drives up in the hills now since having them fitted. Even on the softest setting handling is very predictable and sure footed. When pushed really hard..it still understeers but nowhere near as bad as befre fitting these. The pleasant surprise though is the compliance. A bonus is that shockworks will warranty these units for motorsport use......not something that all manufacturers do or stand by.

It would be possible to leave the wheels on, but wouldn't be the easiest to access and would take longer than removing and refitting the wheels!

I've unwound all the pretension on the spring and adjusted up the base. So all sorted now (the proper way). The one thing I can straight away comment on is the suspension has significantly more droop adjusting this way. I also noticed that the same spacing was maintained between the orange lock off nuts to achieve the same vehicle rid height.
