Had my suspension kit for a while now, at last it is being fitted, aswell as a new wheel bearing and new brake pads and disks.
In the middle of being fitted so cant say what it looks like yet! But will let ya know later

It's not just a big improvement it's great :)
Still just a tiny bit comfort left. I hope that I have time tomorrow to make some pictures, but first I have to clean it :)

Dan helped me fit an FK 40mm drop kit just before Xmas. The car handles so much better, I'm well chuffed. It rides pretty well, gets a bit harsh and bumpy with 4 or 5 up - but then it did on standard suspension!

Just waiting for new TCAs to arrive so I can stick the Powerflex bushes I bought in them before fitting. Then me lower front strut brace to finish things off...
