Getting back together. Did find a difference between the Hawk early bottom arm and the new as the old ones need more relief at the back for the new shocks.
Also the new rod for the top suspension is 25mm to long as for poly bushes, so had to cut the thread one end another 15mm at 1/2”unf.

Finished off the rear suspension today. Used after market to hat, not Gerrys lovey Gold ones as I may go back and use the Beta ones if its to noisy!
Had to make up 10mm spacer to take up the slack as the height must be different.
Found that the camber was 1 1/2 degrees with no adjustment, so about 1/4 degrees more than the old setup, will stay with that and see how it performs.
Just need to take the car out for a spin to settle the setup.
Then its ride height setup, what is yours for comparison?
From my datafile:
RIDE HEIGHT
Sando:-
15.5cm rear - to chassis cross rail under rear bulkhead.
15 cm front - to chassis under footwell behind front wheel.
PS edited to add Ride height currently is 18cm rear and 16cm front taken from crossmembers at either end of cockpit floor
Tomblin
6.25" rear & 5.5" front, measured under suspension pickup points
Transformer Gp4 road setup
2mm Toe in Front
0.2 degree Toe in each side rear
4.5deg Castor front
-1.1 camber front each side
-0.4 camber rear each side
Ride height 15mm higher rear to back
