Yeah, sprayed using a rattle can lol! Yeah, won't be able to go low, but will get a bit lower. Hope it improves the handling slightly!

I need to do mine at some point soon. Infact I just need to dedicate a day to my car for once it's been a while tbh!

It will definitely improve the handling!! Too low will ruin the handling anyway, it's not always about slamming them.

I may get it done next weekend. It's about time I gave the car another treat tbh. Seeing yours there has made me really want to go out and do it now but the weekend is near enough over, lol.

You'll love the V2's!! Time to handle on rails..

Kat, on another note are you still running the standard exhaust?

Yeah, think it's made a good difference to bay.

Hopefully! It's bound to be better than the standard suspension lol! It's not great.

Yes, the exhaust is the original exhaust. I would like to change it, but not got the money to just now. It's hanging low just now, the usual exhaust hanger has failed again. Will hopefully get it sorted at weekend!

Defo looks more suited to the bay that colour! I'll be copying soon! :p

Standard suspension is a bit roll'y!! Haha. You'll be grinning after a blast with the V2's :D

Ah I see, yeah those hangers are a pain when they go! Which exhaust will you go for in the end, any ideas? I'm not trying to talk you into a Milltek don't worry lol! It's all down to personal preference, and money really, they are not cheap whatever route you take. It's a big chunk to outlay on the car.

A good one though ;)

Feel free to copy! :)

Yeah, grinning like a Cheshire Cat! Lol!

Yeah, will have to fix it. I'd love a TB Milltek, that's what I would like :)

Thanks, lol.

And yes like a Chesire cat definitely!! I love my coilies :D

Milltek's quality on my revised system is unreal. Ask DK too for his opinion on the system. It's beautifully made and it hasn't moved 1mm since it went on. Fits so well and I love the oval tailpipe shape now.

You can't really tell it's there sometimes like slowing down and off boost, but oh my it is there when you boot it. Which is ideal for me!!

I was hungover today too and the last thing I felt like doing was washing any cars! Tell you what Kat, next time I've got a hangover you can wash my car, how's that sound? :p

Yeah, definately looking forward to getting them fitted. Just hope it's not a bad winter!!

I think I'd have to go for the same as yours. I love everything about it. I'd still like to have an oval tailpipe, as I just think it fits in so well. :)

Haha, I have no idea why, but when Im hungover, I just like to go outside and potter about with my car. :lol: Ok, done deal! ;)

Ah you young uns, when you get to my age hangovers take on a whole new meaning, just you wait...

Well, Im a bit of an odd one, as Im normally worse on the second day, as I found out today :( Today has been a very, very long day...

Welcome to the Red LCR Club! You will love it. ;) I never had any intensions of doing what i have done, but once you start, you get the bug for it. It can be costly though! :lol:

Oh, and Red's are fastest... ;)

Well, the V2s are fitted!! Think it's fair to say I am a very happy young lady! Loving the difference, awesome! :D Also replaced both Track Rod Ends at the same time.

Slight issue to start with but we got through it!

Here's the finished Foxy. Rear is lowered 25mm, and front is lowered 20mm. I know it's not low, but I don't want to slam it, and also I have still got my drive to tackle on a daily basis, so I had to be sensible about it! I am chuffed to bits anyway :)
Big thanks to drka-drka for selling me these.

Thanks Sam :) Well, I maybe wasn't very clear there, my bad! I have them set at 20mm lower than standard at the front, and 25mm lower than standard at the back. :)

Had a late drive home last night, well more like early hours, loved it!! Can't believe the difference between the standard, no more body roll! :D Was smiling lots, but they do feel a bit strange! Never had Coilovers before.

Cheers Craig! :) Yeah, they have settled a bit just since yesterday! :) If they settle any more I might have to adjust them slightly as at this height I can just make it out my drive and no more! If it wasn't such awful hurricane weather I would have better pics lol.
