    Have you fitted the springs to your Koni shocks? You will need a spring compressor for the fronts, rear you shoule be able to do by hand.

    Did you pick them up from Seb ok?

    Sweet man. Yeah picked up, all good. So you install the spring to the strut before installing.

    Thats awesome mate. Thanks. Looks pretty simple. Really pumped to get the new Koni shocks and lowered springs in. Should ride much better on the rough roads that I drive on everyday.....

    How did you go with the spring compressing? Did you need to compress the rears? It is recommended that you compress it, but I was just wondering what you did
