It's not just a big improvement it's great
Still just a tiny bit comfort left. I hope that I have time tomorrow to make some pictures, but first I have to clean it

Dan helped me fit an FK 40mm drop kit just before Xmas. The car handles so much better, I'm well chuffed. It rides pretty well, gets a bit harsh and bumpy with 4 or 5 up - but then it did on standard suspension!
Just waiting for new TCAs to arrive so I can stick the Powerflex bushes I bought in them before fitting. Then me lower front strut brace to finish things off...
