It was them that supplied the spring clips, iv sent them the pic of your brakes and mine to see what they reckon, took the spring clips off as a precaution, To be honest they sent them out early this year due to me complaining that the pads were knocking on the pins and at the time i thought no way, Ill see what they come back with, the pics might explain the prob better;-) ![]() |

OK, the new brakes are under the car now for a couple off months and they really work well. Also the new front springs and AVO shock dampers (all round) are working now as they should. The car feels much more comfortable now without having lost any of it's roadholding. So everything's OK you would say ....

Compression struts are really nothing more than tie rods that run from the TCA backwards (as opposed to tie rods going from the TCA to the front). ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Adding these 'compression struts' would in my opinion, not make any significant change in the amount of brake dive in itself. It would give the freedom to possibly choose a geometry with more 'anti dive' since you're no longer restricted to using the orignal roll bar moutning position. Read my post on the thead about how anti-dive spacers work from a month ago to see how front suspension geometry can create an anti-dive affect. One other thing to consider is how much the rear of the car lifts during braking since it adds to the dive angle. |

Shouldn't that be the other way round ... Due to the nose diving down the upward movement of the rear is more pronounced ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Sometimes I do get things rather backwards but I'm unsure of the relationship between the nose dive and rear lift you're thinking about. My thinking is along this line. The amount of weight transfer is primarily determined by the center of gravity height and the wheel base. The pitch angle of the car under braking adds very little to the total weight transfer. So the total weight transfer for a given deceleration force (which on your car far exceeds the pathetic orignal braking ability) is essentially a constant. If the rear of the car has no anti-lift geometry (very likely) then the amount of weight being removed (transfered forward) will create an increase in rear ride height. Softer springs would create a greater change in height than stiffer ones for the same weight reduction. Adding some anti-lift geometry to the rear would be very interesting but I'm not sure if the changes would be practical. That's a rather long answer which may explain my idea on the rear contributing to dive angle. |

A compression strut isn't better than an ordinary tie rod. It's only better suited for certain conditions.
