i think mine are big enough for now, its only a 1600 so dont want anything to big and i dont want to cut the arches either, front hits a little on full lock sometimes but once i raise it that should fix the problem, i took the bullbar off as it weighed it down a bit too

Had some recent maternity leave so i managed to get some work done, welded beetle style adjusters into the front beam,modified them a little more for strength, i got a little extra height out of them but i wouldnt say a lot and done more on the spare wheel hanger.

Well it turns out the adjusters i put in were succesfull with getting the height i wanted, i just bought longer adjusting bolts and got an extra 1 1/2 inches compared to before, i would say i got an extra 2-3 inches out of it all up, tyres do not rub anymore and the car now sits level, it does feel like it wants to roll going around tight bends though🤪
