yer as asked, does it handle as good, cause rang coil springs for a quote on some i want, but didnt get round to getting them yet as im refurbing my alloys instead, but now iv seen this im thinking i should leave my wheels half done and get my springs. i wish i didnt look at your pics now:roll:

yes, drivers side rear does, passenger side doesn't



v nice ste!

What colours that?Its called florida green, apprently :confused:



yer as asked, does it handle as good,
handle's about the same, not really pushed it, due to the arch rubbing



Do they fall out when you jack it up though?
not needed to jack it up yet, but when i fitted them, i didn't have to undo the shockers, they just dropped in, so that will most likely be a yes

dont bother with cable ties etc to hold them in, fit some old seatbets to the drop you want over the shock absorbers ;)

Cool, bumpers look miles better.
Which bolts did you adjust to get the bumper sitting higher?
The ones that hold the bumper bar/rails on?
