the rear is ok (apart from the drivers side rear seems to sit fractionally higher than the other rear) but i think this can be solved by turning the spring a bit.
And the front is VERY low, looking from the side the tyres are roughly level with the arches, and the kit was supposed to be -40mm
It looks great, but isnt practical 4 me, So i think im gonna put my -40mm p1 front springs on with the fk shocks

Yup gives better traction for FWD cars
Will also be better when running bigger wheels as theres more space in the front arches than the rear, so theoretically shouldnt rub as much

ment to give u better handleing cos the weight is moved forwards, so the weight goes through the corner with the front wheels, not at the rear so it slides out

having stiffer rear shocks and sitting higher also reduces wheel spin as less weight is shifted to the back wheels during acceleration, if your going to santa pod 2moro you will notice people will wind the rear coilovers on there cars up to max height and stiffness.

i think it must be the 60/40 kit. Although i specificly ordered the 40/40 kit.
I think im gonna put my p1 front springs back on as the fronts a bit low for about here, and cos im down 60 (or thats what i think) there will be much more inner tyre ware.
the ride is very very good, isnt rough at all,handlins good aswell, gives good cornering, and doesnt bang and crash over potholes as some kits do
