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.

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...
