How do they go together?
I'm well excited!

I took about 10 minutes to decide how to word that question so I didn't sound like a retard... and I ended up sounding like one anyway!
The rears came in pieces, with a big silver cup thing with a hole in and a little copper cup thing with a hole in. It also had the springs and a little silver tube that just fits over the thread.
How does it all go together, and how do I adjust ride height?
Cheers!

It's a cup kit? Doesn't that man ride height isn't adjustable - just springs and shocks......

The rear shocks will probably have 4 or 5 grooves in them, if they do, then they are adjustable. Fronts wont be.

Doesn't look like it....
They're hottuning ones.
I think they're pretty awful, just wanted to the wagon sitting nice and low rather than the monster truck standard ride height.
-
You should have got coilovers then, that way you won't be disappointed if your wagon isn't at the height you wanted it.
-
The ebay listing said they were coilovers.
They're going back in the box and I'm going to sulk.

They will do the job plus to be honest are a better bet than "cheap" coilovers.

I wanted to go lower than 40mm lower though to be honest...
On an estate, that's like... going from a monster truck to a defender.
I might sell em on ebay to avoid the hassle and buy a set of AP coilies which go down 80mm.

40mm will be ok, fit som spring caps on the front for a extra 10mm.

What are spring caps?

Fit to the front in place of your old top spring cap.

No worries, nothing wrong with cycling 2400 miles this year so far.
-
I'm lucky if I get to do 30 miles a week!
I cycle from the park and ride to work and back every day... and then do a couple of hours on the romney marsh on the weekend if I'm free...
-
Massive DOH! :laugh:

Massive DOH! :laugh:
I know! It's a shame really... I'll fit them on the weekend and see how they look anyway.
They might look good with some spring caps and some shorter springs...
Can I get spring caps for the rears?
-
Rears probably won't need them. I used to run a cupkit and it sat nice with good ride quality. Alright now I'm dragging my arse everywhere, but hit a bump earlier and stuck both front wheels in the air
