Little point in waiting around! :lol:

I personally found that KW's recommended damper settings were a little too firm for my liking on the roads that I drive. Just an FYI when installing and getting it all set up.

Cheers for the heads up.

I think the difficult bit it going to be removing the rear shelf to get to the top mounts :headbang:

I'll be feeling your pain in a few weeks myself.

Let me know how you get on with the rears.

It's easier in the vert than it is in the coupe.

Glad you got them on quick.

You need to crack on with it. by the time you get these fitted you'll be eyeing up another potential track car.

Personally i'd put the KW on the vert and the BC on the coupe.
Stick the turner RTAB bushes (black ones) and rogue rear shock mounts, H&R anti roll bars and decent brakes and you are sorted.

then LSD, Supercharger and you are golden.

Looking good buddy.
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

looks quality, do you need an alignment check after installing ?
