ive never fitted suspension b4 and gotta say its an absolute doddle, took me an m8 2hrs 45 mins to do

first problem is though what have ppl done to get rear end lower as its not low enough for me, im considering just running the springs on there own with no adjustment, my old -60mm g-max springs sit bit lower

and who said fk highsports are soft in ride, mine are hard as feck and i mean that???????

its only the camber which needs adjusting

anyways ive bolted them roughly in middle which is inline with bottom hole which in turn is where they was when my g-max dampers was on so...... no rush to get there

COILOVERS ARE NOT A SOFT RIDE!!!!

i dont know why people cant understand that lol.they give u the ability to adjust height,and in some cases damper etc.

there designed for track use,most tracks are smooth normal daily roads aint its going to be a shit ride all the time

U just need to adjust the toe on the track rods ends and also the camber with the elongated top mount on the strut itself.

Take one of the spring adjusters out if you need it that much lower, they will settle though, mine have dropped possibly 10mm more,

make sure you get 4 wheel allignment soon as well
