Me and a mate fitted mine, their easy enough to fit. We set them up roughly then i took the car to Promax rally car builders in Llanelli last week. They set them up properly and did an awesome job. I also had the 4 wheel alignment and tracking done too as i'd changed the track rod ends. Couldn't believe how cheap they were! Their number is 01554 784070.

When we say it's easy, it's only three bolts at the top of each strut and the two that connect it at the bottom!!!!! so 20 nuts to undo and then redo. the rear seat are only 4-5 bolts.

You don't even have to disconnect the brakes, just cut the bracket of the standard ones and bend with pliers and the new ones should already have a whole for the brake line.

I've done mine a few times now and getting pretty good at it.
