No still on sh*t KW's Rich.  :sick:

It does look a bit tall there. The Snot Rocket in the background is stock but he's got black wheels.

Can I ask why KWs are not a good thing?

Is that not one of the drawbacks of deviating from standard spec, e.g. creaking, groaning, vibration and extra noises that weren't there before etc...???

Excellent choice of new rimmage Mr Hedge  :happy2:

May I be as bold to suggest some cheeky 10mm ish rear spacers to give her a little extra junk in the trunk?  :smiley:

These have been ok(ish) except for the fecked cap that holds the damper in. No extra noise.

The brand new ones I bought on the other hand were completely fecked almost from day 1 and the reply I received from my complaint letter really takes the biscuit. So much in fact that KW will never ever grace any of my cars once I finish with the current ones.  :sick:
