Very Nice Mate

The perfect stance in my opinion, not too low but plenty low enough.
Good work

did you get much negative camber on the front?
Ben,

Ben,
Yeh the stance is growing on me, I was going to fiddle about with it more but it looks quite alright
Had a few scrapes today but my tyres were running quite flat, pumped up now and we'll see how it goes otherwise may have to raise it a lil...
No negative camber that I've noticed

Good Stuff
You will notice the improvement in handling when you take it on a good run, coilovers make the car handle soo much better on those twisty B roads.

Poor pictures but this was my suprise
Will get better pics but wheels have come back off for now because of the need for some spigot rings

Ben,
In fact I have noticed negative camber on just the driver's side front

Pretty common problem when changing suspension mate, just get it as straight as you possibly can by eye and then take it to a garge for a full 4 wheel laser alignment. Costs about £30 but its certainly money worth spending, gets the tracking spot and balances it perfectly.
Prevents any excessive tyre wear which is always a good thing

What is the handling like now you've got some stretch? And would any garage do it for you? Looks sweet man - i wanted to get stretches but was too scared i couldnt get them fitted anywhere!

Handling.. Well I've not noticed much of a difference although I haven't pushed it much as of yet
I just went to my tyre place I always do.. They weren't too sure but I just told them to do it
