Yeah the upper rubbers and bearings were replaced but rubbers were not installed correctly which is what they think caused the problem.

As Langers has pointed out, I hope they used new top rubber mounts/bearings, otherwise before long you will be hearing rattling noises from the front when going over small bumps. The stiffer coilovers will pound the already compressed/hardened old mounts into submission before long and you'll have to get it all pulled out again.
I'd be very surprised if Seb would agree with them using the old mounts as when he installed my coilovers he used new mounts and my car only had 16000km on it.

Congrats on the Coilovers (no matter what brand they are !or whats said.), I just got my KW V2's in last weekend.... They have been the best addition to date....have found my self sitting on rails going through the twisties...Had all the rubbers etc replaced with new sets too, all done by bug_racer at Giraween. All I got to do is let them settle & have them reset on the 1k mark.
Well done with your new suspension.

Yeah cheers, the difference I've noticed already is mental. Just got the call from pedders then. The car is just waiting on the ABS sensor. Found the problem was the upper strut rubber on the forward RH wheel wasn't seated properly. All good now! And the bearings and rubbers are all brand spankers!
Thanx for the help guys. Cant wait to drive it tomorrow morning.

Done and done!
Got the car back this morning and im very happy with the install. It feels a lot better to drive and not nearly as bad on bad roads as i thought it would be and im running 19's with 35 profile. Had to get new bushes for the front swing arms. The old ones were causing the wheel to move forward and back. Cant wait to get the car on some good corners!
O and the rear is now dropped as low as it will go with the front to match.
Thanx for all the help guys. Ill post a pic tommorow if i get a chance.
