well after 3 arduous days of trying to set them up, i'm abandoning the front coilovers, the back are staying on but luckily i've got hold of some 60mm springs and shocks cheap for the front and i've fitted them instead. when i can be bothered setting the coilovers up i'll get them on etc. enjoy

the inside of the tyres were either rubbing on the strut, adjusted it so then the outside were rubbing, drive shaft rubbing, knackered my ball joint so i've had to fit a new one, the list goes on. i personally haven't got the ability to fit them right and i need the car for work so i've gone for the easy option for now.

personally i think it sits beautifully, but i'm alittle biased

i might fit them in the summer when i've got more time etc but right now i havent got the time and as i said, i need it for work so it was abit of a no brainer tbh.

Someone u2u'd me about a front coilover the other day. This thread reminded me of it

It looks fully ace though! Nice Stance!! I dislike the coloured splitter though!

alas, not my fault. it was like that when i bought it, the car had been in a light front end colision so they just sprayed the whole front bumper apart from the top, instead of leaving the lower grill and the splitter. my mind changes, sometimes i like the simpleness, sometimes not. it comes and goes.
