wont be a noticable drop ripper and imo that isnt on the deck! get on your knees with a torch and have a look at the adjuster cups and check that the turning discs are right at the bottom of the thread! if so then it is!

mine handles better whn its higher too so will be coming up when my cars back!

Used to handle like a bag of sh*t!! I just love the car now, should have been like that from the factory:p i mean it's more comfortable now with coilovers on it,

There was obviously nothing wrong with your standard shocks? I have the same car as you (like model and everything) and I wouldnt mind mine lowered eventually, but don't want to compromise on the ride. I do a lot of long distance and a few miles every now and then with older family and stuff and I don't want the whole thing to be bouncing and shaking their falsers out! I can't believe it's more comforatble! :confused:

Rash - Does it sit like this with the FK's, without taking the adjuster cup out?

NO it sits a lower than villains but about 1-2 inches above the tyre like this VVV

Need an ID-ten-T form
I'll post up my KW V1 when I get home, but it sit about the same as rash's. When I first fitted them the car looked a little high and lob sided..... When I fit the rear ARB noticed that one of my springs was slightly buckled so re-adjusted that a it sits good now. You can just get your fingers under the arches.
