Okay, I finally got round to changing the springs and dampers the other day. Pretty straight forward, without issues. Though there's still a slight rattle from the rear, a tired droplink I suspect, as they are both tightened up. Ride height is now approx 425mm, which is lower than I expected but actually what I wanted. My driveway woefully needs replacing, so finding good flat spot to measure isn't viable. Pics attached of before and after. Thanks a lot for the advice Mr B Cheers Neil

Righto, thanks for that. I measured Front: 432mm , Rear: 404mm So I gather from the above that I will see a 40mm increase in rear height if I were to use the RC6431 I may discuss with springcoil.co.uk to see what they can offer It's typically bad timing as I'm looking to sell it, once I've found a replacement car. Again, thanks Mr B

Hmmm... my current ride height is about Front: 735mm, Rear: 715mm from the ground to the arches, so significantly lower than the 780mm that GaryJ has got. Mine is a PPP car, so I'm not sure if they had a lower height from the factory? I should add that mine has 225/50 17 tyres, so there's an extra 5mm difference in ride height, but there's still a 60mm difference. Neil

That's great, thanks for your help Mr B 👍 Neil

Hi, sorry to drag this thread up again, one of my rear dampers has just decided to let go... Mr B, could you clarify this for me? Of the two types of KYB springs you've listed (RA6028 and RC6431), you say the RC6431 is a closer match to the XT and there is 10mm ride height difference. Is that that 10mm higher or lower than the RA6028? Would you say that the RA6028 is a little firmer? Many thanks for any help you can give. Cheers Neil
