lets see how it settles first :cool:

did you have any issues when fitting yours steve? the nut on the spring cap on the weitecs was 22mm rather than OE 21mm.. and I had to really hammer the new bearing on to get it to fit.

I got mine fitted by a garage  :rolleyes: they never said of any problems, unlike the whiteline ARB
Mine never settled that much, how you finding the ride?

Well i dont fall out of the windows when i go round corners now :grin: but the ride isn't harsh at all, really impressed.

I would guess then that your garage reused the old bearings and just took the nut off the old setup... which I considered doing but solidered on because i bought new top mounts and bearings and was determined not to use spring compressors :grin:

Nice to meet you too Lee.. your car is bloody quick for a stage 1!

They changed the top mount and bearings, well they charged me for them
