Had my Spax coilovers fitted today by the excellent ABP Motorsport in Crewe. Not set them too low as I have a ramp to get in the garage and I was grounding out on the springs!

Handles much better than the springs, and not even set to full firm yet either!

(Bit dark & wet plus car filthy after the Basingstoke run yesterday sorry)

The garage ramp that needs sorting..

Sits very nicely on them :lol: .....Much did the coilovers cost without fitting?

can you adjust rear height on these? if was me i'd like back lower than that, maybe still setlling and stuff but i would buy spax ones if could adjust rear height,
otherwise is looking well though, bet sticks like $hit to a shoe round corners etc!!

The rears are set, they just have damping settings available to change not height, but as you say they may settle further. I'm after 18" wheels next so that will fill out the arches more.
