[QUOTE="davidd, post: 37739, member: 1177"] Kevin, Do not Panic. Despite Martyn's post I might just add a few shims. The springs were designed to prevent "Tank Slappers" and were not designed to make the front end "look" a certain way. If the eccentric end of the link is not lower than the front end of the link you will encourage problems. A few questions: what damper are you using, what color springs and did you get instructions. The mudgaurd fitting is a mechanical issue that does not have to do with the springs. It is brace placement or a damper set up issue. I hope it is not Sid's bent blade issue. I am happy to go into more detail, but it would be nice to know the set-up. David [/QUOTE]
