I stilll cant see where the adjusment is on the rear. On the front, there is a threaded shock, and a platfrom on which the spring sits, which you adjust with a 'C' spanner...but id the shock and spring are seperate on the rear, how can you dictate the height?

theres an adjustable piece thats sits under the spring on the rear so u can higher and lower it.

the specs say -40 to -70mm
think ide be right in saying that these are not true coilovers in the rear......
but they are a briiliant setup from what i have heard.

Langey, without fitting them I don't know exactly how far, I suggest you don't buy if you're looking for an easy job.
As for exactly how far you can go, consider the fact that the height is adjustable so you can get it right - it doesn't matter on the exact figure, it will be right for how it looks and how it rides. You have about 60mm of adjustment IIRC, this is more than enough to put it wherever you want.

-50 or 60mm should be ample for most situations any ways

I mean 60mm of adjustment, not a 60mm drop. And yes, you're not going to be short of options.

Right, i will have Dare X1 17x7 ET45, and i know i will need small spacers at the front.
Rob the springs on the coilovers go further down the strut, thus sitting next to the wheel rather than above it. Even tho your wheels are the right offset they wont fit, u will need 3mm spacers like me else the wheel will foul on the helper spring.
We need prices!!

Cheap often doesnt mean good - particularly when it comes to cars.

Explain how paying RRP is preferable to paying less on the same product?

RIGHT, i have got a price from toby at Rimstyle.
If we buy 8 sets, he is willing to do them for £380 including delivery for both b and c.
He also said if anyone can do it any cheaper he'll undercut them.

should get red-sxi to get in a price war with him over it to get it mega cheap
