By the way, all I meant about the ride on that old Amazon Estate was that he did a half job. Didn't do the bushes and just cut the springs

I'm sure if you did it properly it would be fine

Joe,I have already fitted lower springs to the estate!It is all either polybushed or fitted with new stock bushes all round.When you bring the wheels and tyres over we can see how it looks.I was going to do a proper alignment on it when the wheels and tyres arrive to try and and make it handle properly despite being lowered.During the alignment process I will be able to see if the panhard rod does need adjustment either way.Cheers Dave the estate builder.
