I know lol, he's pretty much car incompetent so I've been up in charge of mods, doesn't want it lowered it mapped though which sucks :'(

I don't think he would really be driving it fast enough all the time to warrant a map anyway, he's over the moon with how fast it is just now lol
Cars going in today to get the exhaust rattle sorted, 4 wheels laser alignment tomorrow morning and getting the front wheels rebalanced as the wheel wobble above 70 is pretty bad!!
No joy at the end of the day, pretty much nowhere in Glasgow will do it without having to raise the coilovers, pretty disappointing tbh. Anyone know of anywhere good?
They're easy to adjust yeah, but I need to raise them to get them tracked then lower them which throws the tracking out again, not exactly the end of the world but I won't it perfect lol
At last! Found a completely coilover friendly garage! Flat ramps and surface mounted alignment sensors and to top it all off they offer discounts to most forum members 
not sure if I'm allowed to post the garage name due to forum sponsorships or whatnot?

If it's local it should be fine
i went to ACR tyre services in glasgow, and got on there ramp, (barely) they have a hunter system guy was fairly decent, mines still has an ever so slight left pull but i think thats my car, as the guy let me fully watch the adjustment being done and you cann see and understand the computer. my tyres are worn on the inside which could cause my slight pull i guess, much better than it was.

It begins with S and ends in A. I got it done for a mere £30 because the guy was a fellow member of another forum. And the tracking is absolutely spot on! No pull whatsoever
As for the exhaust, the garage never got back in touch so I had a feel around for the rattle and I appears to be resting on a bracket near the back so I jammed some gun gum inbetween them and hey presto the rattle has completely gone! Car sounds much better inside now and all that's left to do is replace the top half of the rear top mounts as they are squeaking
Also picked up some more sound deadening today so going to start doing a wee bit every week until its totally done

Oh and noticed my rear discs are completely shagged. Pitted really badly.. Time for some drilled and groove action I think!
I go to calley uni but cany think where your talking about lol.
Where you doing the sound deadening? I'm planning in doing mine properly in the summer. Deadened and sound proofed. The road noise actually drives me crazy.
Rear disks went on my old one too but i just went for the standard ones. Gary painted his with some special paint so that they would'nt rust and they still seem good just now.

Hi my jom coil overs have turned up today the same as yours. If you don t mind me asking did you use the orginal front drop links on or did you change them? and the front springs come with a small spring already on do you leave that on or take off or fit the spring to the shocker, also which spring goes on the front and which goes on the back? sorry about question question.
