Parts needed for a 1986 GTL

[minisumner]

Hi please could anyone let me know if they have any of the following parts:
1. Wings, all four corners
2. NOS Shocks again all four corners, also any advise on which ones are the best to go for would be helpful.
3. NOS bumber's for an 86 car.

Lastly, please could anyone advise me with regards to ride height of a 1986 GTL? Currently my car looks like it's ready to do a race day at Santa-pod! It looks low at the front ie not level with the back. I am assuming this is not correct and the car should sit level when parked up? Does anyone know what the correct ride height should be and I am assuming this should be measured from the centre of the wheels to the edge of the front and rear wings?

Thanks
Kind Regards
David.

Can't help with the parts, I'm afraid, but do a search for 'ride heights' on this forum and you should come up with some useful information. Malcolm's page here helps with taking the measurements.

Hi David, you can find some information about shocks on the wiki here: http://quatrelle.wikia.com/wiki/Shock_absorbers
There's an ebay seller called carshopphil who supplies the good Delphi/DeCarbon shocks.

Hi David, I've got KYB gas shocks on the back of my 83 GTL, they came from a local motor factors, and I daresay they do fronts as well. As for ride heights, we resently raised the front of Marigold so now the front wheels follow the curve of the wheel arch and she now sits level, with the top of the back wheels just out of sight. She rides better now too.
