Definitely. Wait till I have done my spring clean with the polisher and then I'll be up for it ha.

I want mine to look good too! Must buy a polisher lol. Car seems to be getting more and more swirled every time is clean it, no idea what the hell i'm doing as i'm super carefull.

You's think uve got swirls lol. Try owning a blackmagic FR.. The Black shows up every swirl line

I know what it's like to have a black car, had a black astra and it was swirled to ****. Did'nt help that i knew nothing about car cleaning back then though, used to use a dish cloth and fairy liquid lol.

use a micro fibre dry towel if your not already when drying the car and i bet you wont get half as many swirls and stay away from the standard looking yellow sponges.

after you have polished the swirls etc out and waxed the car using the above should slow down or stop the swirls if thats where your going wrong.

Yip already use microfibres to dry and buff off wax/polish. Use the two bucket method with a megs microfibre wash mitt. When claying, i turn regularly, and keep in a bucket of hot water, making sure i use plenty of water to lubricate (Bilt Hamber clay)

Just been snooping about the net reading up on these, it seems hardly a bad word has been said about them. I'm quite a believer in 'you only get what you pay for' but i'm slowly being convinced. Payday is coming up soon, quite tempted to just get them lol.

yeh i know im like that too, but end of the day if i get a year+ out them for £190 i cant complain

Wow 300mm :lol:

Any reason why your not fitting them? I don't want them, I'm just being nosey

Weeshtt you! I had them on my old car which as you probably know was only a 1.4 so these springs are not suitable for my new car. Only reason i went for this kit was because it sorted out the terrible ride comfort and improved the handling vastly - very good kit.

So those springs/shocks are specifically for the 1.4?
