Kiwi, the car is looking sweet! Looking forward to your thoughts on the H&Rs once the geo is done!

Rich & Paul - As I have said - if you need any bits fitting or any fettling done, I am always eager to lend a hand. As for the bush Paul, depends which one. I think it's an ARB bush which really is a 5 minute job!
Jonsey - I like the black wheels too. Blame Mark (MB) for that as it was his car I looked at!
JD - Both of our sets of H&R coilovers were bought from the Yank FS forum. Mine is lowered as much as possible...well, I could go another 5mm lower by removing the locking collar on the damper. I also have smaller profile tyres. Kiwi's is 3 turns up at the back, and 8 turns up at the front.
Nomadic - Having driven Kiwi's car standard, he now has the same setup as me. The difference is huge! The ride is still compliant, but the damping is so much better. If you are going to do lots of track work, you are probably better of getting some stiffer springs as the stock items are 6.3kg/mm front/back. On the road, it's absolutely perfect!
On the way back from JAE I was behind Kiwi watching the rear of his car squirm and look very unstable, whilst I was laughing, closing in, and the car had more to give.

You can tell yours is lower on the back. Cheers for the info.
