My rear end

For all general things Calibra related

My rear end

by Pickles » Sat Jun 02, 2012 1:02 pm

After all the issues I had with lowering the back of the SE8, the techs at work said that the rear suspension was different to other Calibras, and this was probably the cause of the problems. I'm not so sure so thought while it was being MOT'd I'd take a few pics so you can see what they're on about, position and size of the rear arms mostly:

Does this look any different to normal? :?:

I agree, it's just the standard rear suspension set-up.
