Nice one Kie!

Wind the front coilovers all way to bottom and for the rears don't have the adjusters in,just have the springs. You won't regret it.

Any problems fitting them u2u me as there the bang same as mine.

Cheers dude!!
Going to have a play around with them when there fitted to get it sitting perfectly...hopefully.
My alloys are only 14" though, how low do you think it could go without having problems with it over speedbumps?

Dude!

Mine's the lowest it can go and i've had my 14" sxi wheels on it and had no trouble with bumps etc. Just got steady over them and not flying like you'd usually.

The rides going to be alot harder as you've got coileys but you'll get used to it. I love mine.

Just make sure you don't round them off as you'll never be getting them off.
