Tell me about it mate. Did'nt help the fact I was putting up some 7m moblie scafolding at work yesterday and climbing up and down it just to change a few light bulbs :(

Sounds painfull Dave, how did you manage to do that?

I'm a scaffolder :) - just thought i would say although it was proably an alloy tower you errected?

That must have been frustrating, if you had the knowledge to change the coilovers, but couldn't. Did you go see a Doctor?

Coilovers now fitted :D

Eventualy got them fitted, but not adjusted to correct height yet.
Rears are wound right down and I think they are a little to low for my every day drive, so I'll bring them up a little tomorrow. Fronts have about 30-35mm left to go but they look very nice (lower than I thought it would be) as they are right now so I'll prob leave them as they are. Just bring the rear up to look the same as the front.

Car is filthy so I'll give it a good clean tomorrow and get some pics up :).

Cant realy comment on the ride at the min as I have only drove about about 1 mile home.
