    Its not really a hard job matey...

    I knew nothing about it apart from a few wise words off forum members.

    The 1st time i attempted it took around 2hrs, but a week later i did a friends car and managed to do the rear in 30mins

    No need now, the fronts are going back as they seem to lower the car by ALOT more than the stated 25mm on the website. The car sat so low at the front that there was a mm clearance to the front bumper when sat stationary. When driven it grinds on the smallest amount of lock - i am now going to agree with martin... standard is the best idea!

    Sooo pissed off why can nothing easy with these ****ing cars.

    Cheers for the offer but im just going to **** it off as im fed up with it all. It handles great with the new rear shocks on so i will just leave it at that, its taken up too much of my free time.
