Finally got the lift in, will make so much easier.
Went twinbusch single post as dropped the ball with concrete thickness for garage floor (despite being reinforced wasn’t deep enough annoyingly)
I didn’t want to dig the floor up again and this one just requires a smooth solid floor.

All that space around the passenger side of the with no post in the way.
Then just swap it around for the other side.
What's it like to move around ?

Must admit I was looking at single post ramps recently, they do seem to leave more space available both when in use and not but they come at a price

They always worry me as to how stable they are

I've used one and had no concerns with it.

Moves easily providing floor is perfectly flat - that part we managed.
basically a pallet truck so move it then drop into position.
Early days yet but will try our other cars as well.

That was one of the attractions only having one post. Seems ok

I know what you mean, does look a little precarious.
I’ll get confident with it when a use it properly but is stable

Hi mate

I've been following your car's restoration with great interest.

I'd like to ask you about your car's ride height.

The height from the center of the hub to the body, and also the alignment measurements.

Do you have official data on the original ride height?

You know, so I can adjust the spring preload to the original settings.

Thank you very much !!!!

Thanks for your interest.

I’m away with work at the moment but back in January. I’ll take some measurements then.

Does it sit lower than your 4200? I have not adjusted the height myself.

I’ll try find a few more photo of the side profile

I lowered mine to gransport specs and it’s 36cm Front 37.5cm Rear, centre of hub to bottom of wheel arch
