well suspensions fitted 80mm on front and a presume around 60-70mm on rear neva measured that just took the adjuster rings out

also had to fit 5mm spacers on front due to nearly touch coillys

yes a would recommend them am finding the handling very good and its not as rough on the roads as a thought the rear very easy to fit a was a bit confused fitting the front but when a figured it out was very easy to do but a needed to get the 4 wheel alignment done to sort the front caster bolts and tracking.

well found out on friday that have got no compression in one of me pistons a nd 70 in two other pistons and over 100 in one as well so thinking about doing the headgasket set and timing chain done as well to see if it fixes it if not one of me 1.4 sport engines will get cleaned up and put in the corsa due to having all the wiring for it anyways. but means me needing to wait a few months to finish off all me handling for the car cause only needin front polybushes, quick rack and whiteline arb

surely if it has no compression then that tells you the rings have gone
