Evening all, I have a dilemma recently as you know I had my car lowered, this was done by means of H&R lowering springs but I started to get a knocking noise from the front end, well after changing both of the suspension top mounts the knocking noise is still there! Well it turns out that the lowering springs have a rounded top edge unlike the original springs which are shamfered so the springs are not seating correctly on the rubber which is located between the spring and the spring cup on under side of top mount! So I have a couple of questions that I need advising on if anyone can help? A. Do I remove the springs and shamfer the top edge to replicate the original springs resulting in a better seat ( or is this unadvisable to do) but have to deal with the thought in the back of the mind that is a bit of a cowboy job B. remove the lowering springs and purchase a set of coilovers which will mean a better package not a mix and match of springs and shocks resulting in a set up that works in harmony together? If B is the better choice what coilovers do you guys recommend? Has anyone heard or know of a brand that are GOOD ( do you have any fitted to your car you would definitely advise someone to buy) I see Scoobyworld do the brand BC Racing coilovers, are these good? You can either have them fitted or they send them to you already set up at 40mm lower than the standard set up, pre greased and you can also purchase rear white line camber bolts for extra adjustability on the camber, Any help would be very welcome as I'm not one to put up with a car that is poorly and needs attention, not just going to turn up the stereo and hope I can't here it if you know what I mean! Would rather spend the money and fix it. Or do I just go back to standard set up and forget about handling and style!!!

Oh well that's the great British weather for you, looks like I should be able to come to next one, so will watch this space ;)

Hi Scooby Pete, do you have any photo's of your recent meet?

Yep that's right neither do I condone or partake in anything like that ;)

Yeah they were good days, then mr plod got a !Removed! helicopter :(

Your about the same age as a couple of lads that I used to knock about with from down by you, mainly on motorbikes in the woods and dosing around up by me! I'm going to PM you I might be able to help you out!

Poltock he wasn't very nice, lets say that life begins when your this age lol ;)

Cheers just book marked the page for payday :)

Yep have to agree certainly has changed since I was there, do you remember any of your teachers? I can remember a couple like mister Bates ( aka master-bates) Dixon, Thatcher and magnum pi ( Goodfellow )

Any one know the best place to get a front splitter from? I've seen them on eBay but is there a Scooby specialist anyone can suggest? Looking for a glossy black one that doesn't need spraying???

Yeah just by the old prison on the hill ( Hatters Lane secondary ) your in Micklefield can tell by your pictures ( by the way I'm not a stalker just been in this town to many years not to know the areas )

No was an old E36 which was silver but know matt black, slammed and mainly side ways lol

Not sure if any are from around by you? I any know a few through a friend from work one of them is the main organiser who bought my BMW when I got the Scooby, there is going to be an Ace cafe take over part two I will let you know when it's organised.

No wasn't South Bucks cruise < don't know about this one? I went up with Bucks Collective not sure but don't think they have been going long, first time I've been up to Ace in my car usually go to bike night in the summer on my bike ( that's a mad night bike night ). What head unit have you got now then? I went for Kenwood DDX3023 touch screen.

I will have to attend one of these meets, I will try and arrange a drive out with Jonny b as he lives just around the corner from me, cheers for the links ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah up for a drive out, went up to Ace Cafe last Sunday evening with the Bucks Collective, great night about 80/90 cars from Wycombe went up, including mine there was 5 scooby's in the convoy :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will watch this space for anything coming up in the future ;)

Well Surrey isn't to far if anything is going on around there in the future?

Why do you think people haven't used it yet? Is it because secretly we are all spies going by under cover names and do not wish for the enemy to find us? Lol :)

You ain't joking, but seems like a lot of the members on here are from up North? :0
