if you just do what they say in the manual you will b fine and once you have done 1 the rest is a pice of pie [ERRR] its basicly all the same after that. its soo good when you set the car down off the jack and see the car keepon gowing down :grin: even tho mine was just a 35mm drop still nice 2 see when its first done :grin:

It's dead easy m8, as long as you carefull and got patience you'll have no probs. Front struts will prob be well tight in hub but keep at em and they will shift eventually. :smile:

Fitted springs and dampers on mine mate, got some spring compressors you can buy if your having a go yourself. How does a £5 sound, they are practically brand new!!! Cost £18 new :wink:
