Yeah mate - they are quite long. They will compress though when it's on the ground.

Yer lol good point. Phoned around all the garages that could do it today. Ended up with Owens garage in Haywards Heath. Its about 45 minute drive for me, but gave a good price.

i am not a fan of meshing mate, spray the alloys black with red or yellow lip, lower it and you are onto a real winner mate.

Yer i think the height now is perfect. It looks 10x better and handles so much better - no body roll at all.

Its near Sainsburys. Your turn right before the station on that one way system they have over there. I'd never been to Haywards Heath

You say they lowered it by notches?
That’s exactly why I didn’t use them; they screwed my Magnex up when I wanted it welding up and charged some astronomical fee.
IMO Owens are crap, and they really don’t have a clue.
I got mine done at 4Extreme and they do it the correct way by removing the bar. not by doing it on notches.

Sorry i meant to say one Spline, not notches. Its the same in the Hayes Guide. He knew what he was on about and explained it all to me at the time and it seemed to make sense lol. I thought they were good tbh - they didnt charge me for tracking, and fitted my decat for free. Each to their own though...
