> appears to be the ASP database which times out from time to time
I don’t know what an “asp database” is but as far as I can tell it’s the access database which the forum uses which causes the problem, more specifically the fact that there’s several access DBs all running concurrently across several sites. I’ve made some changes in terms of separating the various sites into separate application pools which might help but only time will tell for sure.
> ditch the MS IIS and go for something more stable?
Easy to say, not so easy to do. I’m trying to work out how to convert this “snitz” forum (asp/access/iis/windows) to drupal (php/mysql/apache/linux) but it’s not a small task unless we want to bin all the posts and start over from scratch.
Most of the drupal system is *superb* and it’ll allow all sorts of other interactivity, easy uploading of photos etc but I don’t like some aspects of how the drupal forums work so am trying to sort those issues before I start the migration process.
yeah I’m not sure what’s causing that – i normally catch it when it starts slowing but I guess not every time…
just fixed email… thought it was a bit quiet and then checked and there’s a billion new topics. Apologies all.
i think the problem is you’d lose travel.
so your car might sit at stock height but only have half the travel from there so you’d get the disadvantages of a lowered car (i.e. reduced suspension travel, so would have to be harder than standard) without it actually being any lower. I don’t think your ground clearance would be affected, just the travel.
Of course you could perhaps leave the rears normal height and jack up the front to match and have it riding high like a country xD
please note I’ve never tried to fit a set of gti rears to my syncro so that’s speculation but you might be able to compare some sizes from this pic..
As some sort of frame of reference, the springs are 9″ long as far as I recall. You can see the rear damper is actually pretty short, even including the top mount.
wow they look great. Will you be accepting paypal?
