Balls you've just reminded me i used a jubilee clip last time as the stealers did not have one in stock and i could not be bothered to wait another day. Due to having OCD i will have to get the correct clip and sort it.

they can 9 times out of 10 be released without damage and re used, but there's always the 10th time  :signLOL:

You learn something every day. With me 0 out of 10 can be reused. I have a lot to learn.

I've been using them every day for about 5 years. You can easily adapt the settings, their maximum softness is just a bit harder than soft, but the damping is superb.
The only problem was one bent front spring after falling into a crater on the road. Had to change both front springs.
Overall I'm still loving them.  :happy2:

After trying the KW V3 for a couple of years and finding them terrible i went for the Pss10 B16, i've enjoyed every mile on them and my next car will get the same suspension :)

Over the top mod list ;o)
