yes its a daily, dont want to go cheap 40mm kit route, want to spend abit of cash on it as i think its quite important! :smiley:

Against the standard underdamped set up a set of Boge gas shocks and lowering springs will transform it, you do need to go nuts, trust me.

well..

day from hell! got my parts so started fitting today. first job was to sort the leaking out, found a load of crap around the pollen filter and the gutters so cleaned all that out, hopefully this will stop the passenger footwell leaks! then moved onto the clutch cable and swapping it for a manual one so got the auto one off and as i compared the 2 they were nothing alike! :cry: the manual one was abit longer and had a different clutch pedal bracket to the old one!
tried to mod it as best i could to get it to fit but it was still too long on the gearbox end and i knew it would bite at all! plan B try to refit the auto cable and hope the ratchet resets to allow the clutch to work after all the faffing with that it didnt so have no clutch and no car to get to work tomorrow! :rolleyes: happy days!
