It did mate but they sold to another member off the forum.
good job mate!
It looks awesome now.
Going to be doing my suspension this weekend coming myself.Mine is a se though, so hopefully will be really noticeable . Currently got 18's on and it looks like a tractor!
Any pointers or tips?
Have you had you alignment checked yet? Just wondering if it does actually mess with anything.
again top effort....
The alignment will be done mid week after i get some new tyres after they got absolutely got mullered on the track day yesterday. The car drives perfectly so the alignment isn't out that much, steering still straight and doesn't pull to one side or anything.
As for pointers and tips, on the rear all you need to do is remove the damper and change it, with the springs just drop the bottom arm off so it swings down so you can remove the spring, to put the arm back in place with the new spring just a trolley jack to lift the arm into place as you are going against the spring force, no need for spring compressors.
As for the front make sure you have an 18mm deep socket, you could use a spanner but an 18mm deep socket on a breaker bar would make life much easier, you don't need to drop the driveshaft out or anything, just move the steering from lock to lock in order to get the damper strut out.
ooooo looking very nice rob, i am gonna have to pop round and see what the ride is like, mind u it will probably only tempt me to get some! lol
Mate pop over when you have time and we'll go for a hooooon! The ride is soooooooooo much better than our old proper slammed Polos!
Glad your pleased with them mate!! Got yourself a little bargain there!!
Did you leave the spring platform adjusters off the rear??
Looks good but I agree, come up 5mm at the rear and it should be lovely..
Also the car will settle a little over the next day or two as they have been off a car for a few days!

Yeah i did mate, well happy with them, the quality of KW is just brilliant, also noticed that the spring platforms are plastic which means no seizing like the other coilovers, i have covered them in motorbike chain wax to ensure they keep in good condition.
I did fit the rear spring platform as i don't want the car to be slammed, i'll give it a few turns tomorrow to bring it up a few mm to even things out.
Also went out before for a hooooon and there was no scrubbing so i am glad i swapped the 15mm spacers for 10mm's!
Uhh no 1st come 1st serve u little git, already bagged week or so ago (I hope) lol
Robin we still on, if so pm your details for paypal fella & will send tonite.
you got pm mate.
