Wow, what a difference. Looks fantastic to me. Mark (forget) surname was the one that coined 'on stilts' look. You can really see it in the first pics. Certainly not my taste, but do appreciate others prefer the higher setup (ie just my opinion)
What's your chassis number Mark? I'm guessing you have the later setup -30mm I don't think would fit in the early cars. The benefit of coil overs is standard size springs that can be easily bought off the shelf, so fiddling around with Spring rates at the start in theory at least is easier I'm lead to believe. The back does look a bit low, but around the same as my old one. Was only ever a problem with a full boot of luggage and tool kit when we went to Ireland. I should have extended the bump stops really as the tyres could just foul in some cases. I'm not sure if that was due to the bumps not being designed properly or slightly bigger tyres. It might be worth weighing each corner to see if you want to raise the rear or if you'd also need to raise the front too, if you did decide to change it further. Northampton motor sport were good at this kind of stuff if you happen to be near them. @Bob, I think I have a spare set of polly bushes in the garage if you want them? I changed them to see if it would help the torque steer, but made no difference. They have about 5-10k miles on only.

The thing with adjustable coilovers is that once you have set them up you'll prob never change them again, unless you use on a track. The Quantum springs that people mention aren't really an option unless someone is selling 2nd hand. You may even have these on the car. I eventually took the gamble & got the Spax VSX kit this lowers 30mm over the standard XR2. As I'm not sure on the suspension set-up on my car this seems to be greater than the 30mm. See pictures. Its a great set-up for smooth roads, but a bit harsh for general use. (also have flo-flex bushes) I'm going to look into getting some standard Xr2 rear springs.
