The rear shocks and springs had started to see better days so I thought I would go for a set of coilovers , had a look round and decided on a set of JOM coilovers got them from viper motor sport much cheaper than ebay and they arrived the next day .
This is how she was sitting before the coilovers
As you can see the rears where past it both spings had snapped at the bottom (I never new they had) and the shocks had rusted away
The new rear ready to go on
Fronts fitted , I put new top mounts , bearings and droplinks on at the same time
Painted the Caliper's while I was there
Few of how its sitting now
I think I will bring the back up a little or maybe the front down , as for ride quality its nice maybe a little softer than stock only done about 100 miles so far so time will tell .
Its a easy DIY job if you want to have ago yourself (My full time job tho ) with no real specialist tools just make sure you have a M14 spline socket
Time to get some wheels now I think

Are they self levelling? Any issues now that it's lower?
