Also other than the lowering of the car does te coilies stiffen the ride much in bends? I'm sick of mine making me think I'm captain Birdseye out at sea!! Lol

They are next on my agenda, just gotta get some spring compressors to fit these though as I need the top mounts for the McPherson struts.

Don't think I need spring compressors cuz ur not taking the springs off the shocks on the front should just unbolt from the car as one thing mate

I need the springs because I'm having to strip down my old springs to get the mounts and top bearing, other wise it would be a day in the A&E lol
