Cheers bud. If you need it back asap just text me and I can chuck it in the car and run it round on my way back from work. I found the exact same one on machine mart for £23 so think I might get one on payday :-)

One strange thing though, I didn't need the spring compressors for the shocks. once off the car the springs were loose enough. Never had that before and they were loose when refitted to the new shocks. Very odd!!!!!!

-80-100mm lowering springs and standard travel dampers maybe?

Should be picking up a pair of G60 topmounts tomorrow lunch time and get them boshed on over the next couple of evenings.

Brakes bled. Handbrake to adjust and a clean and polish required. Took it for a naughty spin round the block to check the brakes were all good. Man I had forgotten how fast this thing is, haven't driven it in 4 weeks ish!
