The tilt helps in some ways but it makes the rear bank quite tall when the inlet plenum is sitting on top not that you can see much out the rear window anyway, so I'll reverse the tubes to face...

Hi Lauren they are Spax adjustables ,the threaded tubes and spring seats were repurposed from the new dx coil overs that leaked before I even fitted them ,decided not to use the Elise koni’s as they...
