Spent some money on the car for a change!

Well I spent some money on the car for once...

Sorry about the quality of my "tempory phone" camera...

I have also fitted the Headlight washer nozzles to cover the holes... but no pics of that

Nice Sam, liking the wheels and looks good with the pug brake kit too. Are you sitting on standard springs? Looks like it could drop a few mm's, but that might be me.

Very nice, liking the superleggera's

Very nice, but you've parked awfully close to the kerb in that first pic....

Yes Standard Springs... and I think some of the bushes are starting to wear as well (although not bad for a car thats done a few miles short of 100,000 miles!!

I wanted some LEDA springs... but since they are no longer around I'm not sure what to go for now...

The spaces at work are so bloody small you have no choice but to over hang the path, if you don't your arse sticks out and you risk being side swiped!

I've got a set of Eibach lowering springs in my garage going spare

You'd love parking where i live then, the spaces are tighter and thinner and what's even worse the people who live round here haven't got a clue how to park AT ALL!

good job the BMW is out the way in the corner, away from the risk of being side swiped.

Think I'll swap the gearbox out first!!! Since thats a necessity rather than a Nicety

But... err... how easy is it to fit the springs?

I've brought the Landie in to work before - noone messes and for some reason I end up with a free parking space either side of me

Trouble is I can't put the kids in the landie (No fixed seats and no belts so can't fit the child seats)

I'm sure we can sort something out, gearbox/type B etc

Springs are easy enough if nothing seizes and nothing breaks! If all bolts come undone as they should, all you will need is a spring compressor to remove the stock springs, not required to re-assemble. You can borrow mine.
