Lee I work for the company you bought the coilovers from. I did reply to your ebay message this morning but just check the drop link. Just looking at your pictures the topmount looks like the early type which will possibly have a different drop link setup to the ones used on the coilovers.

Bargain! You can't go wrong at that price! Get them fitted anyway and just fit the drop links when they turn up!

I'm liking the speedy progress on this! I used the FK's for a while. The only reason I took them off was the front didn't go mega low but they do give a decent drop still and ride fairly nicely. I went straight from KW V3 to the FK and for general day to day use the ride was fairly similar.
When I did my wrap I decided to get all new bumper and arch clips from BMW. The guy on parts said they would be about £30. When I picked them up I got slapped with a £75 bill. As you say they are so easy to work on. The wrap was such a simple job as all the trims and stuff just pop on and off.
.
It's a cheap and cheerful kit. For coilovers under £200 you can't really go wrong. I always sell them as a disposable kit. If one goes after a year just replace the one for £50-60. People generally only post bad reviews but we get fewer problems with them than some of the more expensive kits.
Heres mine on the FK with the lowest setting on 17's

And on the AP's I'm using now. I still have about 20mm to go with them too.

I ended up trimming the arch liners and the wheels now catch on the bonnet lol

Only problem is, your Gunna get someone come up behind you in another hot hatch, and they will pull from you... Shame it dousnt go as well as it looks it should!
On a lighter note I love the look of it! Reall looks smart! I can see some carbon fibre parts suiting that!
Nice work!

do you have any plans for further insulation of the garage door??
is the door at the top of the stairs an external or internal type door?
is the ceiling of the 'tilly' room insulated?
i ask cos a mate of mine bought a house with an integral garage & the house was incredibly cold. we discovered the garage ceiling & walls weren't insulated & the garage-house door was an internal one. it cost him a few bob, but after insulating & swapping the door, his heating costs dropped massively.
.
I was just going to ask the same thing, make sure the ceiling is insulated well. But Im definitely jealous that's a very nice size man cave you have :thumb:Quote:
