Haha - you've fitted shiny ebay tat to your car now, to go with the scaffold inside it. 

Make sure you put a flexi joint on that 4-branch, or it'll fracture pretty quick.

Crack on and get it on the rollers and let's see the 'torque off the scale' then.

and/or solid front mount if you havent got on already

My 4 branch hasn't got a flexi and that's been on the car since 1996 still hasn't fractured.

stainless ones can crack

[DreXeL]

Yep, will be fitting a flexi-joint. Will look into a solid front mount too.

Did you fit your coilies as shown in the box, cos the springs are the wrong way around, the helper spring should be at the top or at least they are on my spax. Other than that, schweeeet looking engine bay man and i bet it sounds immense!

Helper springs should be at the bottom.

Helper springs should be at the bottom.

Reason? On my super cool racelands, my spax, my mates kw's and my other mates spax the helper was at the top.
Just had a look about online and it seems that the big hitters are saying run helpers at the bottom on the front and helpers at the top on rears but cant give any reason for this?

[DreXeL]

They came assembled with the helpers on the bottom so that's how I installed them.

[lemski]

I'm not sayin they can't just mine hasn't yet on my 16 valve

Mine came assembled with the helper springs at the bottom

Coming along nice bud. I think your are being optimistic with your bhp, but there is nothing wrong with that!
