    Just wondering if anyone is any good at fitting lowering springs. Will pay cash. If not could anyone recommend a cheap garage etc.

    They're not too difficult to do as long as you have a decent set of spring compressors, Tree's the man to talk to though. I'm not a big fan of playing with suspension/steering and brakes on other peoples cars :?

    Looking good, apart from the finger, and people say I'm a hazard when working on cars!!!
    I had to replace the ARB droplinks on mine the other day, the knock they make is annoying as F**K! :lol:
