Mr Tidy said:Anyway it's now sitting as high as we can get it, which according to H & R's website is 23mm lower than standard on the front and 19mm on the rear and I'll see how that works. It is probably about 20mm higher at both ends than when I got it, and if it is OK I'll get an alignment done.
Ross had got the exhaust hanger, which was apparently the last one in the UK so I hope it lasts, but I need to sort something out for the rear of the back box to help it out.
And now I've got a nearside headlight washer jet on order because the 2 litres of screen-wash I put in on Monday just left a big wet patch under the jet where the car was parked.
Anyway ride height now looks like this.

I know, I've read the same about polybushes, but I had to decide quickly so Ross could order them before close of business if they were going to arrive the next day! And I'm sure I've also read that because they don't flex they keep the geometry closer to how it was designed.
In any case I can't see them being making a big difference with my current spring set-up, but will find out next time I take it out - to the shops! :roll:

We always check the chain tensioner as good practice before recommending just the o-ring or the compete tensioner as we’ve seen a few where they start to stick or have a weak piston. This one was sticking so we recommended replacing the complete tensioner to prevent any future problems arising.
