Can you not get extenders for the rears so you can adjust inside the car?
so you can tun the front harder as of the weight of the car, you say. Hmmmmmm

I found with them set softer the car just felt like it was bouncing all over the place, but this is probably down to how it felt with the Eibach springs (it could also be down to the roads round my way being all over the place, so going A to B was like driving a bouncy castle).

I could get done rear extenders but either they were out when I bought the shocks or I was put off by them being red. Should probably get some sorted for when I can be bothered to pull the seat out again.

No mate none, if there was any it was hardly noticeable. I did sound deaden my floor (not the rear seat) a while back, although the difference was minimal.

Don’t tell anyone about the sound deadening, they’ll get upset as adding a few kilo’s to a car that weighs the best part of 1.5 tonnes is apparently bad

sounds good, any improvement in changing gears 1,2 etc? to fit bushes should i lift rear with wheels off the ground or could i put car with rear wheels on ramps?

I can’t say the gear change itself is better, but I have a solid pitch mount & uprated linkage bushings so it’s always been solid.

However after changing gear getting back on the throttle happens right away, it’s just there as soon as you press the pedal. No lag whatsoever

I have a 200 piece Halfords socket set in my boot, along with the spare wheel & jack. Helps with weight balance

It’ll stop the diff moving, reducing that “clunk” when you pull away put said clunk energy into going forwards with better throttle feel.

Well worth the £65 & nothing needs removing / pressing
