Had the pleasure of seeing this set up today.

1) The install is extremely professional.
2) It works well... impressive.

well done Jake, got there in the end.. no thanks to the unscrupulous seller.

Yeah the guy who sold the struts that started this whole process was a bit of a git.

I know with 215/40/18 the front would really go down, I'm hoping I can add a bit of camber to get the front tucked more.

Air ride can be done a few ways you can buy a bag that goes over coilovers, this replaces the spring, the ride stays exactly the same,

Then you have struts like mine that ride a bit stiffer then oem, the more air the stiffer the ride,

Then there are performance orientated struts, that can be used in auto x etc.

Ps now want a bcs exhaust.

Managed to get the alignment done first thing, toe actually wasn't too bad, but did need adjusting,

Managed to sort my display gauge too so now it doesn't bleep... Tomorrow ill do the false floor and were done

The drive is pretty good. If you keep it at a good level, if you roll low then it's a tad bouncy but that's expected

Bought one of these to replace the tyrepal, it was a great idea but in reality flawed in its design,

As soon as you start driving, the alarm would go off no matter how you set it up, so the above gauge will be perfect.

Right I've had an offer on the car so the air and wheels are up for sale.

I'd like 800 for the wheels

1100 for the air.

Cheers Jake
