Nice mate, the Morettes are a 100 x better than the hellas to look at and coded they look nice.  Slammage needed
yes buddy, they arnt as common as the hellas either and have more of an aggressive look to them. cheers for comment  :smiley:

Cutting springs is a bad move.

tbh, I'd just get a set of JOM coilies or equivelant. For the cost they are fine so long as you get the adjustments done early on as the threads will corrode a bit and rings will stick. But I seriously cant complain at the ride they are more comfortable than any kit I've had before, Eibachs + koni's, Tanabes, tein HR, superstreet, superdrift, Gmax + unknown shocks, PI's, Jamex springs + shocks and thats sitting damned well low enough too. The car doesn't handle brilliantly but then it wont without considerable work outwith a set of coilovers. Honestly worth every penny and more.

cheers buddy, ive got to order a deep splitter, and yes,i done the camber with cotton and a nail lol  :wink:, it was positive camber before on the n/s and negative on the n/s so its a good job i done it. any ideas to the correct angle/degree i should use though? :undecided:

i cant remember the corroect camber setting tbh mate.
when i did mine i used a small spirit level.
put it against the brake disk before and put a mark on the level with pen then after the put the coilovers on i just got the brake disk back to that same mark.  :wink:
