Car looks really good Markymark. Can I just ask what kind of difference you've noticed in ride quality? Like Keith, I was hoping to find a deal on some H&R's at Inters. Also how long / ball ache a job is it to fit the springs? :smiley:

Thanks :happy2: The ride quality hasnt changed radically its slightly harder but you definately notice the difference on corners, its much stiffer and reduced body roll. The car does feel more planted, but on the motorway she soaks up the bumps just as before. I used to have coilovers and uprated ARB's on my old Beetle and that was like a go kart, very harsh ride and would almost make your fillings fall out. I went for the H&R's as I wanted to go lower but not at the expense of ride quality, been there done that!
As for fitting them if you are fairly competant with a spanner and have all the tools it shouldnt be to tough. The rears are a doddle, the fronts are more time consuming. :happy2:

8) Thanks. Although I went for a ride in Nousey's car with a similar set up, I don't remember anything other than his acceleration :grin: He knows what the roads are like around my way :fighting: So didn't want my skeleton shaking to bits, its crumbly enough. I like the drop on yours though, very subtle. :happy2:
