Probably wont be able to fulfil this request, am dropping the car off before work and the only camera I own is a huge Canon 20D with heavy pro lenses... i aint dragging that thing to work!!

That said, i'd love to take pix while they put the KWs in, ah well.

2 days until KOIL OVAHS@!

Just a side thought, are my insurance mob going to have a cow about me having coil overs fitted?

[ScienceVR6]

probly. Mine said i couldn't have a sports exhaust.........

[MattyT]

Well they know about the rims, stereo & tint...

Step 1. go on the website of your current insurer, apply for a new quote (anonymously) and select the coilovers as an insured option. This will tell you if they will accept your mods.

Step 2. Call them up and quote your current reference number (for insurance without the coilovers). Tell them that you are getting the coilovers, if they say they won't insure you, Go to step 3.

Step 3. Tell them the reference number off the website and ask why they what the difference is. If they can't think of a decent answer then you can tell them to suck the proverbial c0ck

Havent bothered to contact the RAC yet, but will do sometime this week once my tires are bald

Dropped the car off this morning, unfortunately the shop was pretty busy so they'll be done sometime tomorrow I'm told. No rush though, they're pro's and I trust they'll do a hammering job!

The V2's look the business in the flesh though. No stainless steel exterior, instead a kind of metallic yellow plus the gloss yellow springs and purple steel bits.

Nearly bouncing off the walls with anticipation!!!!!!!!!!!

COOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERR RRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSS

HUGE difference. Much improved dealing with bumpy roads and massively decreased body roll. Havent yet gone for a proper drive but even just cruising back from the shop felt so much more firm and taut.

The shop gave it what they called a "bit of" lowering. Looks ****ing DUMPED hahahaha. Okay maybe not scrape-city but you would all approve very muchly. Will take pix tonight.

It also turns out I have 20mm sway bars front n rear! Interesting, since i'm fairly sure they arent what comes stock??

Have kept my old struts+springs, so if anybody wants em give me a hollar!

[DubSteve]

Nice work Matty can't wait to see the pics. Have you notice you can feel the road alot better you can predict your moves better to

[ScienceVR6]

I'll take your rear shocks if you are giving them away.

[rayray086]

Nice job! Pronto with the pics!

[MattyT]

Ok ok! Went for a real drive tonight and WOW. Them KW are awesum!!!

The car is so calm now, nothing I did could upset it. Being public roads of course I wasnt anywhere near the limit but even taking roundabouts aggressively didnt phase the KWs. Utterly amazing, very veryyyyyyyy happy!

And heres a quick pic:
