I have a 91 GT4 Group A with a lowered suspension.
Apparently it's a non-adjustable suspension too.
The car failed by less than a cm[just scraped as he drove over it quickly] It also needs to be 345mm from guard to middle of tyre...
without replacing the suspension are there any other alternatives you guys can please recommend??
limited cash...
looking for any and all ideas
or previous 'experiences'

you could put spacer under the springs to get it past the pits but dont leave them in. best bet is to borrow a set of springs from someone or go to the wreckers and get a set for next to nothing.

Nah, you'd just end up bringing the rear down to match the front... I'm thinking that new springs are going to be your best option...did you keep the stock springs?

its worth a try, just pull out the ruler and away you go, add some weight to the rear and then remesure the front and see what happens, you will only find out if you try

What if you put slightly bigger or smaller wheels on for the inspection?
That could have a good effect.
