Says they drop 34mm front and 40mm rear. This is where i ordered them from. Dirt cheap compared to everywhere else.

Got rear springs fitted and rear anti roll bar too. Heres some pics, sorry about quality, it was getting dark.
Does everything look ok? That is the right way round the springs are meant to go isnt it? lol

^^^ Can anyone spot any faults with the bits fitted above? TOok it out for a spin last night. Apart from fuel cutting twice, i cant believe the difference the roll bar and new sus has made. Sticks round corners now very nicely. :rockon:

Ok the rear passenger shock has been making a weird noise all week. Feels like shit now and i cant really explain the noise. Kind of a loud rubbing/spring slipping kind of sound lol. Anti roll bar is still all tight, would that make a noise? Its hard to tell exaclty where its coming from, but im 99% sure its the shock/spring. Im going to take it off shortly but what do i look out for? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lithium grease is the best to use lewis, works wonders on bushings...

ok cheers guys, i think ive got a tub of general grease in the garage. I'll lube them up shortly. Im pretty sure its my shocks that have gone, maybe the topmount part? Its bobbing up and down proper as ive taken the covers off from inside the car and pulled the rear seats down so i can see the top strut bits when im driving and its making a rubbing noise as its hitting. Hope ive explained that right lol

Handles ok mate, just want to get the back one sorted as its making a shitty noise. I think i need a few more handling mods tho and my wheels aligned etc.. I paid like £138 for the springs i think from Camskill...

If i didnt put these back on

Would that cause noise as it says 'bump stop'?
They wouldnt fit back on as the spring clamps wouldnt let these dust covers past when i was putting the spring back onto the shock. So i left them off
