Had a bit of a rough weekend i have been ill since last week. I have put on the new springs and shocks and have some pics from my phone, but they aren't very good as the wheel alignment at the front has gone out. So i was gonna take it to a garage get that done before posting some pics. At the moment my left side is rubbing at the bottom and right side is rubbing at the top of the wheel on full lock but i assume this is to do with the alignment, so ill check that once it has been aligned.

nice one mate glad you got it done!shame about the rubbing!hope you get it sorted

Cheers mate my car is booked in tommorrow for tracking and camber alignment so should be ok after that and shouldn't get any rubs.

Don't really wanna attempt the big bumps till the camber is sorted so i'll let you know tommorrow and send you some pics. Although when i pick up the gf tonight i have to go over a few so that will be a little test. Thats strange asking a man for pics so you can compare his height? ;)

I'm pleased with it so far ride feels alot better although i aint pushed it yet cause of the camber alignment is out. It's just about the right height i don't think i would personally go any lower. The rear arch sits in line with the top of the tyre and the front arch sits about a finger and a bit between it and the tyre so looks totally different to before.
