New suspension

OK so received my new suspension (thanks Rupe) and decided will install it today.

Here is the new parts ready to go in:


Here is a pic of a comparison between the two types. Funnily enough they are exactly the same height when out of the car:


And here is a before and after shot of the lowering:



After setting the shocks to 3 all round it is bumpier than before but handles a lot better. Might put it on 4 for a while to see how soft that is and then experiment with 1 and 2 when doing a nebo run. Overall am loving the new suspension and took about 4 hours to complete as a few bolts were really stubborn and the rear top strut bolts are a pain to get to. Also found speed humps are really rough now and I have 2 just outside my house.

Cheers Jarrod
