Plus the door is very warm by this point cause the motor is working overtime to go UP! :roll: Anyway...

Most popular kits I've found are the H&R and Eibach ones. H&R cost about £100 more than the Eibach £200 asking price.

Has anyone had a go at fitting themselves.. preferably without owning a garage 8)

I'm thinking of having a go on my drive with two axle stands and a bag of luck... :D
