Just standard shocks with apex springs. Are yours the straight arm version? Just there's 2 sets for sale at the min both straight arm which im thinking of buying but heard they dont work well with lsd? They'd be ok for now I guess as I dont have an lsd but thinking in future I may well have

Yeah mine are straight arm with a rack raiser too, arms are completely horizontal! It's mainly down to alignment really, people fit a diff and coilovers without a good alignment then wonder why it's all over the place! I do get a bit of pulling sometimes but that's the diff working and its always on uneven roads. It's also people fitting a part that they haven't had on a car before then not liking the feeling of it working.
That's just what I think anyway, its a well debated subject and theres obviously a lot of factors involved ie ride height, wheels/tyres, bushes, RCA's ect. Area 'fixed' a customers car just by doing an alignment.

:-D. Btw is a rack raiser a must with the straight arms?

I have the straight arm design on my coilovers and dont use a rack raiser - although mines isn't 'slammed' by any means of the imagination. I Agree with Chris about it not causing any problems - Its all down to the owner and geo setup etc

There's a few pics in my build thread before and after the raiser, think its page 2or3. As Kipps said its not hugely important, I am a little lower though I think.

Here's the vid [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] I've left it quite long as I chased down a vx220 near the end haha
