Just a few questions.

How easy are these to adjust, and what does consist of? Taking wheels off ect?

And generally i sometimes not that often have 2 people in the back whats the lowest i could go im going to be running 15" wheels with 205 standard size tires.

And will these be any other parts that i will have to change or will it be a straight swap and also how do you apply bump stops/

Also how easy are these to fit/ anyone wanna help me i live in milton keynes :P



Sorry about the questions hoping you can help shed some light.

I have just fitted a set of the hotuning ones yesterday very good quality, yes you need to take the wheels off to adjust, mine is around 70 front and 60 rear drop with 17" s and no issues with rubbing mine are set just below halfway, all bump stops are included, took me around 4 1/2 hours yesterday to fit and that was the first time I had fitted a lowering kit.

Hope this helps.
