ID:	20544Getting 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.

    Re: Hawk replacement suspension.

    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?
