yeah mine are the -40mm set, they look a little high at the mo but I haven't driven it since they were fitted so they will need a bit of time to settle

Yeah my front didn't look TOO different, it does gradually start to bed in though and now I there is some difference.

The rears are easy enough to do, just make sure you do both wheels at once and drop each side down - I made this mistake and didn't do that :P

Had a right pain getting the springs clamped, I managed to do it but then dad came home and told me this way was much easier :P

Yeah I know, did my coilovers myself last time, quite easy as it's the same principal as the old fords I used to own

A few people on ukmkIVs have been having problems with the rear shockers squeaking

we shall see mate. If I have to keep replacing shocks I don't mind as long as they cover the cost of the new bolts/nuts you'll need every time  :tongue:
