Well tell you what the front looks like its dropped by 50mm!!
Well please with them, Jabba done a good job, shame they bottled it when i asked them to fit my LED side lights ;)
Car is really solid on the road, the ride has not been affected, steering feels heavier, and it has less self centre effect.
Once i get my F1s on the front then i should be able to test the handeling out abit more.
Very impressed, but the can now look even more nose down!
Will get some before and after shots up tonight

I'd say that the ride height WAS affected then :hammer:

Nice one, looks so much better as well as better handling.
That is a seriously low front now, how come the front drops lower that the backs ? (is it the heavy diesel block maybe ?
Just need a decent set of rims and rubber and your sorted, maybe arch trims as well to give the arches a bette snug feel to the wheels.
:cheers:
Are they the correct TDi springs?
Part number should be - 10-81-005-02-22
If youve got - 10-81-005-01-22 they are for the 1.2 - 1.4 Petrol.
Looks a bit lower on the front end thats all. But nice all the same, good job :)
Kinda reminds me of my car, with it being higher at the back!
Not bad SBF, hope the back gets lower...mine got higher unfortunately!

I have the box in the back of the car will have a look see what it says.
Hoping the back will compress abit over a few 1000 miles, the front has alot of load on it as it is with the engine, so it hopefully will not 'settle'

You'll have to get the suspention sorted on your new one too.
I was tempted by the damper kit, but am too tight to part with the cash, anyway, i might need the cash to invest on an Origin b2 in a vain atempt to keep my licence!!.
