p.s there are lots of cheap spax kits around at the moment as they sold off a huge amount of old stock very cheap as they had problems with the old design. they have now redesigned them and the new ones are a lot better

ive fitted a few kits and they have all needed 3 or 5mm wheel spacers so that the tyres dont rub on the adjuster rings. just a bad design.

no, just the front, due to how low the spring comes down

rear's are separate so no catching
