wasn't claning it, was trying to remove the side rub-strips and it was hard as anything, got blisters on the fingers
i cant drive it tho. its rubbing like fu*k probably rip off the fuel pipes. so going to change the rear back to the 30mm springs and leave the front 40mm

the springs are jamex and should lower by 40mm but the guy at the garage says its definately something like 55mm. not sure what to do at the moment. changed the rear to 30mm last night and left the front 40mm

shall i just keep it 40mm front & 30mm rear. or get some archwork and slam it to this 55mm. how much for arch work tho

^^^ they are et40 so a drop of 40mm would have been ok .if i had et45 it probably would have ok or a bit tight. am just going to leave it 40mm front & 30 rear, but get shocks with shorter piston rods for the rear (uprated 30%)
