Haha careful what you say about the girlfriend's mum mate!! :laugh:

I'm getting my Weitec -40mm springs & shocks fitted one evening next week - not a big drop but looking forward to seeing/feeling the difference over the stock suspension. It's pretty bouncy at the moment, to be honest.

Also I've noticed an occasional knocking noise (sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car) when I go over speed bumps and such - any pointers as to what this might be? I'm hoping it's a problem with the stock suspension, so once it's out and replaced it might stop... If not I'm a bit worried :undecided:

Alright thanks, will check it out. Went for a drive tonight to have a bit more of a listen, and it sounds like it's coming more from the centre of the car, so I'm wondering if the exhaust is loose. Don't know - just sounds like something is loose and knocking. I'll get it checked when I swap the suspension next week and make sure nothing is hanging off that shouldn't be! :huh:
