Nice car mate,

Where did you get them from for £340 and how much were the tein springs?
did you fit them yourself? and did you have to get the geometry /alignment done seperately etc etc

thanks mate

thanks,

i got them from sutton autofactors, a year ago so the price may differ slightly....i paid £140 for the springs. I got a friend to fit them who has his own garage ( subaru owner himself) TBH ive not had the geometry/alignment set up yet as ive not got the funds right now but i will have it done asap.

Whether it be coil overs or shocks, how do i get access to the rears ,
is it via the boot? do i have to take the seats out to reach the tops bolts?
