If anyone can do a fitting guide for me (with pics if possible) that'd be useful as apparantly they don't come with any instructions..
also if anyone has a spring tester, could be useful to know the poundage

Fitting thread in DIY Guides
One issue I didn't mention in the guide is you really need 2 C spanners and only one comes in the kit

Excellent plan - I had to use an old multi purpose Bicycle spanner that had a C type spanner section on it but it was awkwardKam Racing wrote:Great guide... I'll make sure any new kits come with an extra C spanner included...bstardchild wrote:Fitting thread in DIY Guides

I'll add comments on ride quality later to the DIY guide
Overall I'd say the Raceland coilovers represented
- excellent value for money
- Nice range of height adjustment so you can get the height/stance you want (I'm going to look up what the ride height was of my Polo when I first got it as I think the stated range 35-55 drop is very conservative)
- Seem well made and fit easily
