Had them bolted on on Saturday morning over at AMD by Lakeside in Thurrock. Can't fault their service really though tbh I didn't hang around - I just left them to get on with it. Which is exactly what they did.
Anyhow as soon as I got back in the car and eased off I immediately noticed how much smoother the low speed ride was. The car no longer crashes over imperfections in the road surface and feels like it has a bit more sophistication to it. It just goes to show how over stiff the standard springs are really.
Initial thoughts on the journey home were crikey it's a bit bouncy but having given the springs a couple of days to settle everything seems fine now. The car feels just as planted as before.
Ride height wise I can't say I've notice much difference tbh but I wasn't really expecting much (hence no pics) and it wasn't the main reason for the purchase in the first place. If it had of been I'd have gone for the Sportline's.
One strange but very welcome benefit is that with 12mm spacers on the rear I used to get a slight bit of rubbing over a particularly nasty local speed bump but not anymore, which is nice!
