Location: Guildford		I notice you have refitted the hydrogas straps, is your subframe not solid mounted at the rear? It will make a big difference to the car if you remove the rubber block thats above the subframe and put in an alloy block or box section and bolt through from the floor above.

Is it pug shocks you have used? I guess they are a very compact unit and very stiff as they wont get as much compression at that angle as if mounted upright so would need to be stiffer to compensate?

no the subframe isnt solid mounted
i didnt really want to mount solid to reduce stress fractures in the boot floor which i had experiances with a long time ago on my original shell due to ridding on bumpstops
im still pondering over that idea but now i have removed the interior it might be easier to do
the shocks are ones i had made by avo whicj only have a very short stroke
