Agreed, side pictures would be nice. Looking at those coilovers too!

Here you go.

Doesn't show that well in pics and I expect it will settle a bit as well.

Back end is defo lower but as you say should settle a bit too!
Ak

Handling is much better now. Quite firm but well damped. Not as harsh as standard. The dogbone mount has helped with the general feel of the car as well.

That's it for now. the wallet has taken enough bashing for a bit. :D

Do you reckon there would be any takers for the standard suspension on fleabay ?

I don't think you'd get much for them on eBay as there are so many breaking and people change to coilovers quite a lot. However, it just so happens that one of my fronts are creaking so I'll be on the look out once I'm home in December. Would be perfect for both of us as I want to lower mine 30mm on just springs so I could do it on these and just do a straight swap ;)

OK Give me a shout when you're back. If I've still got them we can sort something out.
They've done 59K and are in reasonable used condition.

Yep, recently Stage 2. Didn't think it would go straight away but the clutch has been on the car for a while with Stage 1 so bound to go in the end.

Think I'll just bite the bullet and go with the Helix SMF kit!

Helix clutch is a good piece of kit. I had a Helix on my 350BHP Scooby. No slip, easy to drive as well.
