what problem is there with your coilovers?and how come they took so long?(im looking to order some soon)
Nice collection of parts there, John was the pics of the sunroof any good?
Lol, one front spring is 350lb, the other is 250lb! I'd ordered 275's. They took so long 'cos i'd ordered them through chris astley, chris sent me a set out that turned out to be for a mk4 astra, so then had to sort all the hassle out with gaz, ending in me only getting them today.Quote:

Quite happy overall though.
Also my tyres turned up too, wish me luck fitting these babys!
It also looks like i may have to attack the arches quite severly too to get them to fit, hope i don't run out of time or funds before pvs!

Nice job :)
Ok, so i've been having a bit more of a fiddle, fitted the coilovers tonight, rears clear with no arch mods. Bit dissapointed the front doesn't go that low, but i suppose i've had to compromise with the xe handling etc, and also the fact that i've retained the original top mounts. (i'm presuming spherical top mounts will gain me a bit) Also had a mare with the paint on the wheels, but that's a long story!
Fitted a tyre on a rim too and had a bit of a play. I'm really chuffed with the outcome, tis the look i've been trying to acheive down to a tee! Rear arches will need minmal work (thank god!) Hopefully i can have some more time on it at the weekend, and get it out in the daylight!
