a lad on here sold them to leeklad and he had them fitted on his gsi but he broke it for parts and i bought them but they dindnt come with the top mount so i took mine apart to try and bodge it together but it was well, a bit dodgy to say the least and wasnt road safe

your tracking and alignmetn will be off, this is the case with all suspension changes.

as for the camber, you will run negative camber with a coilover setup.

with any suspension change it is advisable to get your tracking and alignment redone once new suspension is fitted.
