Car will be held off the ground by the spirit of Rayrays 'SH730X'...

landed. So much freaking uni work to get through before they go in though (shouldnt have bought GTA either...)

It's going to take a few coopers and some sweet talking to friends to get these in.

Have to do some saving to go wheel shopping, I actually think the A8s suit the car and I got a good deal on them from a friend so no complaints, but need something legit to finish the car off.

Good to see they made it up quickly.

LOL I forgot to chuck in the helper springs...... let me know if you need them, I'll have to find new pencil holders

If it's not a hassle thatd be good bud, may aswell keep it all together. Were they any help at all, what do they do? I know you didn't run them.

The keep the spring compressed when you jack the car. At a low height, when you jack the car, the coil springs aren't long enough to stay compressed. When you put it back on the ground again, the coil springs could sit on an angle rather than straight on the top caps but because of the way the springs sat on the bottom perch, I never had that problem.

I'll send the helper springs in when I next visit the post office.

I find helpers to be actually quite the opposite of what their name would suggest. Stop you from going lower, get in the way if you have wide wheels, and the coilovers are so much easier to adjust when they don't have those springs pushing down on them. I took an angle grinder to mine while they were on the car to get rid of them without taking the suspension out and ****ing the alignment (:
