Thanks Raj

I had a wee look over yours and you have done a great job of making it so much better I do have 1 question for you what coilovers did you use and if any links to them if you could pass on that would be great as I would like to lower mine as well

I was running KW V3's but am now on Bilstein B12 kit (Billy shocks with Eibach springs).

Tbh I miss the KW's as I recenetly went to Spa and tracked the X, and feel although the Bilsteins are better and more complient for road use the stiffer more track focussed KWs would be better for how I like to drive.
