@Seanick

Did you weld on the small studs that the clips are fastened in?

I just got my kit and the clips are a very loose fit on the blades. I can slide them through the attachment points on the blade. Was it the same for you? I went back to the dealer and pointed this out but they said there's no other clips?

Fitted a eibach 45mm drop kit, really happy with the height drop and min change in comfort
Image
Not too expensive for the kit
Image
When I was at it I replaced the top mounts with bearings, drop links and got a great deal on shocks. I’ve 55mm shocks at the price it was a no brainer.
Image
It cost about £500 odd for all so not too much of a hit on the pocket.

Started building myself a new set of headlights. These are going to be dual halo side lights and have dual halo indicators, along with a single low beam projector.

I’m quite liking the silver look but it’ll all be going black!

Hi mate don’t suppose you could link me to the parts for this build? I want to split my headlights and paint them black but thought may aswell put some halos in there!

@bradley same kit? There is a fair it’s a bit of work putting them in TBH so the price you got is not too bad.

I not in to driving fast anymore, but the handling is so much better now

It’s the 45mm drop from vw Hatfield
It is basically a set of springs so they are taking the Micky with price but I’d rather retain the warranty for now and maybe go lower in a few years lol
