Go for b2b or yozza only for exhausts. Ktec ones are shit, simples. With regards to setting up your coilovers there's only one place to go in Mansfield, tyres 4 u, 01623 661501, they are sound blokes that dial everything in bang on and charge a proper price (cheap) plus it's a hunter system.

Got the coilovers on today! Unfortunately i got my measurement's slightly wrong and when my mate (has his own garage) set it he gave me a call to say it was done. I arrived and thought 'shit, i need to raise the front!' Lol

The back, imo, sit's perfect but this weekend i'm going to get her on the jack and raise the front a bit. Then next week i'll be getting it all set up camber wise etc.

And i'll apologise the photo's are in the same place AGAIN, but it's the best place atm due to it's lighting and the shitty dark evening's

He has the other bucket... Don't get why he aint fitted it lol. If i were him, i'd strip the back out and get the 2 buckets in or just sell the buckets and get another VTR seat (think i've got the other haha!)

So, set my coilover's up. What a nightmare. Raised the front by 15mm, after lot's of faffing. Still didn't look right. So i lowered the rear by 5mm.

If i'm honest, it's lower than i'd planned - but it does look good! Walking back to the car in the petrol station tonight i felt very smug

Getting decent picture's couldn't happen today and our drive is sloped in every angle you can imagine so it doesn't show the stance properly. But here's a sort of teaser pic 'til i get some better one's...
