Fitted the lowering blocks with longer bolts that Shaun kindly made up for me. The front all ready now for the coilovers and hubs to go on.

I then put the coilovers onto the rear and got that on the ground. I took them straight off Shaun's and didn't touch the height and his wheel sat just on the lip with the tyre in the arch. It was way too high so dropped it another 30mm and it still sits like this which I'd like to get lower and can as have 100mm of thread left yet.

The coilovers bodies clear the inner arches without any bashing but they're still getting turreted and move inwards to allow for wider wheels. The RHD tyre does lightly catch on the springbut then has more arch lip clearance than the other side which will need the lip rolling, which I was gonna do anyway. Typical vauxhall tolerences!

Fronts will be next to go on as they need to be level with that at the end of the day, no point the back being lower.
Also looking at some other slammed coupes the rears aren't right up in the arch with the fronts very low and they look level :(
