Thanks mate.. Yeah its pretty mega, very lucky!

Exterior still has a fair few more bits to be done..

Still not 100% happy with the front ride height, need to take out the helper springs to go any lower though, I want it dropped another 10mm at the front..

Going to have the front grille done in matt black, remove the front plate etc and have the rear bumper diffuser section matt black too. Also have some front tints done, really subtle, to blend them to the factory tinted rears.. Thats pretty much it for the exterior.. A few tiny details here and there but nothing major for now..

Then I need to do the brakes, as they are f*cking hopeless..

And thennnnn! Its time for a load more power..  :laugh:

They are the FK Konigsport Silverline coilovers.. They use stainless Koni dampers, so the quality is really good..

Helper springs are a low rate spring which will take up the initial movement in the main spring, used in motorsport aplications mainly when the main spring can move on the spring seat if the damper goes into full droop whilst driving.. (taking off) or on road dampers when your running a constant rate spring (can be fairly uncomfortable)

These have a super soft helper which are fully compressed once the car is on the ground, and these dampers they use a progressive rate main spring anyways so the helper is pretty pointless on this application..

Hence the reason I dont mind taking them out :)
