I have got to adjust mine tomorrow. Fitted some new shocks to the back and front of my 1987 T5 Mk.1 but the back end is certainly dropping. I only have some Carbone shocks until I can get better but things could definitely improve once I've adjusted the preload. I'm a chunky chap lol (125kg) so I certainly need to adjust them a bit. Great video Jesco, thank you :)
