so i take it u have the 2 front struts with the bags attatched and 2 seperate bags 4 the back

fit the airline through the car never underneath the best way 2 fit the airlines is down the side of the car under the plastic trim and coming out through the holes in the boot floor 2 attach the lines to the bags

yeah that right. how long did it take you to fit it. by the looks of thing fitting the struts is the easy bit it's all the air lines to the air tanks and solinoids looks a bit confusing

took me 4 days start 2 finish

run all the airlines 1st and fit the tank and compressor,then just do the straight swap on the front struts,run the car with just the fronts done 4 a day or 2 2 make sure there r no leaks or anything
then fit the rears which will nedd to b welded if they r anything like mine

Nice work there, love this car

It can go lower if you put smaller bump stops on... That and the length of the dampers are the only limiting factors...

the kit is £1500 new from http://www.dsengineering.co.uk/

i managed to get the kit second hand for £636 off ebay

it is a right pain in the arse to fit but once it's finished they will be so handy as my drives got hundreds of pot holes
