Cheers Jambo!

Unfortunately I'm lame at the moment the ones on it are pressed

Cheers I'm pretty happy with the exterior now, just want it a touch lower at the back really. Also after a rear diffuser off the s2/turbo then I'll be happy

exactly that.



The one on the right, they're the 2 options but I'm not keen on the toast rack and prefer the turbo one over having nothing

That's a bit of an issue with a transaxle doable but would sacrifice some ground clearance

I won't be buying 2 sets in a hurry that's for sure! Retail at £1010. Luckily PICK4D can get a nice discount

Chris excuse me for sounding stupid but what's the advantages?

*****UPDATE*****
Well the coilovers arrived Thursday. After opening the box I realised there was a mix up with the rears so they've been sent back and are getting sorted free of charge thanks to P1CK4D.

Whilst still eager to see what the fronts looked like and the fact I'd sold the existing setup I began to strip it down yesterday...

We got it in my mates Garage/Massive Gazebo!


Said new front coilover


We then got the front stripped down for re-assembly


After we had the coilover in the top mount we then ran into an issue with it not mounting to the hub.

We're now waiting to contact GAZ monday to see how they suggest to sort it. So currently it's sat like this


We decided not to waste time and crack on with getting the rear torsion bar ready for the rears so after some adjustment we got some lows...






And an overall shot of my mates garden... I'm so jealous of the space he has!
