Right, got both the fronts on, wound up so the dont rub on the rims, dropped the car and bollocks.
The driver side looks fine, but the passenger side is sticking out, like the steering wheel is turned halfway round,
good-
not good-
and idea chaps ?

I think its just a matter of doing it when you have a clue what you are doing, no offence mate but your shouldnt take it on unless you have a kinda understanding. I will admit to having problems when I fitted mine but I had the know how to fix it when someone told me what the problem was.
Doesn't look like a tracking problems because in theory both should be affected in the same way.

£10 says its the tracking.
After changing the suspension you should allways have the car re-tracked.

But would the tracking not be affected on both sides??
Also if the wheel has turned outwards would it not be the toe in that needs adjusting.

Think of it like this.
If you lock the steering wheel, take off one wheel, undo the track rod end from the hub, turn the track rod end out (or in), then put it all back together.
How will it look?
I think it will look just like the second pic.

Right got it sorted now, where the 2 bolts go at the bottom the top one has a larger hole on the coulover, i presume this is so u can adjust the camber and toe in when the coilovers are wound right down. I just wacked it all together without looking the first time, now i know.
I dont like sending my car off to garages etc as i dont learn anything then, plus i save lots of money  
Every days a school day eh ? 
Cheers for everyones help.

im with colin - on the tracking
camber makes the wheel / str8 or \ (not as the pics are
tracking makes the front of wheel stick out or in further so seems like 1 wheel is going str8, other is turning slightly
