Is the above good to go?
Seen some springs + shocks on ebay at a good price, they lower front and back 80mm, but don't want to but unless i no i aint going to get any issues?
Also how easy are springs to fit (are they the same process as fitting coilovers?)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

thats a tidy drop m8 , i droped mine today on coilovers around 90mm on the front and 80mm on the back (with no helper springs)
and it sits liek this ..
and yeh Springs are same as coilovers, top mount off undo the 2 bolts at the bottom of your shock then remove old springs and put in ur new ones and do it all back up

Looks sweet mate.
Did you fit the coilovers yourself?
I have been told there is a special tool you need to undo top mounts???
Been quoted £80 from garage to fit, but if i can save this by doing myself i will do.
