Hi guys , fitting is 5 hours @ £55 + vat per hour .

The kit can be fitted without disconnecting the drc.

We recommend having a drc re gas at the same time to ensure the drc is working correctly .

A full drc regas is £177 + vat inc the hyd oil .

How long have you had them on Ben? As I was told they may settle lower than first set after a few months...how low did you get the rears as it states you can go as much as 25mm? Looks good though fella...

Scaghead - what were your front/rear settings? - would be good to see a picture or two. Thanks ;-)
Will post some pics,but at the moment I am waiting for my new tyres,as I have a couple of flat pothole wrecked ones on there at the mo..looks well low though.. :biggrin2: as soon as I get the bloody thing back,I will post some up..only had the new look for one day.. :bash: the only thing I would say is the more you lower the front it does not fit the arch properly IMO as in shape of front arch/shape of wheel,looked to me like a hot wheels car so had it raised a bit higher than I would have ideally liked,but just couldn't be doing with the way it was...thinking about it ,it probably will look better with the people who are running a slightly higher tyre (35s) would fill the arch better without going so low...
Thanks mate - look forward to the pics ;-) Interesting point on the front - will experiment as supposedly these are easier to adjust ;-)

I have the H&R springs on mine and to be honest i am happy with the fronts. However, the rears look way to high considering they are a 'lowering, kit. Think H&R dropped the ball with these.

Ben,
Your car has a great stance. Not sure why you would want to change it?

Just poor timing for me or I would have snapped these up.

Gavla,in the link thread mike put up, there is a picture of the front looking side on this was how mine was ...like I said maybe if your running 35s you don't have to drop it as low to get that effect...just looks like your closing the space at the top to leave a bigger one to the sides of the arches...

Would say around 10 months now! would say they settled a bit but not much! i have dropped the rears all the way but didnt measure how much it went down by! All i want is the wheel to follow the line of the arch! i have raised the front a little more since that picture as when it settled i got a bit of rubbing! but there is loads of adjustment on the fronts just short a little on the rear

thankyou mate i am in no rush to change it and its still as it is in those pictures it just bugs me the arch sits slightly higher above the tyre on the rear and yet the front sits just right! it don't show when there is luggage in the boot! you can just see in the picture the extra gap on the rear between the tyre and the arch!

perhaps another pic will help a little better! you can see how well the front is sat in the arch to the back but it is a small difference but noticeable

This was my car with the OEM wheels on and standard (not SS+) suspension. Pretty sure it looks lower than Bens at the back.

That looks lower than mine at the back with the H&R's on them. Might consider just putting the original rears back on.

I've cheated a bit of though, my car audio weighs a ton.

They all seem to sit lower at the back.
