Not meaning to push you into it or anything, just I was paranoid about being to low and ruining the drive and ruining the dampers, but I'm well happy with the Eibach's.

Thanks for the info, I will have a think.

One small thing to update, I have a rear caliper in trouble so have ordered a new one today.

Lift the console up at back of handbrake and you'll also find one cable further back than the other. Unless you already know.

The handbrake side of it looks fine (ish) but the piston is seized

Interesting that's its seized.  Only known that to happen when a boot has gone and the brakes haven't been used in a while.

Well, I have noticed in the time I have had the car, that wheel (osr) has a lot more brake dust on it so I always wondered what was up with it, today I found out  :grin:

It was just something I could have done without this month tbh  :smiley: however it is brakes / safety so needs must.

Always the way though Wayne, spend money on good stuff and something poop comes along to steal more funds... Ah well, you have to expect the odd niggle from a new motor, lets hope that's all.  Nice sig BTW.  :wink:
