I was after some advice. I posted a few weeks ago about what i thought was the exhaust burning the nearside rear tyre. Turns out that its the arch rubbing the tyre and that the car sits about an inch lower on the passenger side. It wasnt like this when i bought the car in February. Does it sound like the suspension unit? I'm under the impression the person who had it before me hardly used the car with a passenger where as most timesi've been out its been 2 up. Could it be its been set firmer on the drivers side? Anyone with pro tech experience or any suggestions?

If the ride height is too low, you need to raise it.

Ideally you would pay attention to the corner weights, but in the meantime you need to raise the spring platform until the tyre stops rubbing.

It's not really to do with the make, and it's a spring rather than a shock absorber issue.

yeah, i've checked and both springs seem to be set about as long as the can go with only about 2 threads left to turn

yeah, sorry. I realised as i posted that. Is it the platform on the pro techs that requires the C spanner?

The first thing I would suggest is checking the camber on your rear wheels. You might find that with a bit of camber and removing some of the return lip on the rear arches, you can avoid the tyre catching the rim.

Then try setting the car up so that the rear of the car is slightly higher than the front. Adjust your spring platforms at the rear so that it's level with two people in it (if that's how you prefer it) or better still, get it set up professionally.
