Yeah I would love a set but I'd imagine they are hard to get hold of?

Could I be cheeky and ask you do the green wheels/lowering on one of the better pics I posted in this thread? (preferably the rear shot if possible)

Much appreciated. Thanks mate.

With regards to coilovers, does the kit come with everything I need to fit them? I hear camber bolts being mentioned, do I need these seperately?

Also, do I need the tracking doing once they are on? Never had coilovers before, just lowering springs so unsure on whats what.

Any suspension jobs and you should get the tracking checked unless you want to smoke through tyres :)

Especially changing to coilovers, get the tracking done asap afterwards

Cheers mate. Do they come with everything I need to fit them?

I have heard camber bolts and top mounts being mentioned but no idea on if I need them/If they come in the kit?

They dont come with those kits, top mounts are £400 from kw and only come with more expensive coilovers. You dont need them but I did find that on my last car the camber made cornering much more stable and gave me more confidence. You can just buy camber shims if you really want it but if you set it up wrong you will wear your tyres unevenly and nee new ones all the time...

Nah not after them, just wondered what they were and whether I needed them? Just want to make sure that the kit I buy has everything in, in able for me to fit them. Don't want to be buying other things on top, costing me more than I originally thought.

These coilovers as linked, get tracking done, then it's set up then yeah?
